This revision now requires changes to proceed.

I don't see any reason for, and lots of reasons against having more than one 
source of truth for a Debugger's "Currently Selected ExecutionContext".  In 
particular, I can't see any good uses of the Debugger and the 
CommandInterpreter being able to have different "currently selected 
targets/threads/frames".  For instance, I think people would generally be 
surprised if calling SBDebugger.SetSelectedTarget didn't also change the 
default target that subsequent command interpreter commands use.

This patch solves the problem that the CommandInterpreter's version of this 
truth is out of sync with the Debugger's notion by ignoring the 
CommandInterpreter's version.  That seems to me the wrong way to solve the 
problem.

Rather, we should make sure that everyone is looking to the same source.  I'm 
not sure it makes sense for the CommandInterpreter to be the one holding the 
"Currently Selected Execution Context".  Maybe that should be kept in the 
Debugger, and the Command Interpreter could then call 
Debugger::GetSelectedExecutionContext?
