Addl loop prevention for traverse_parent_state (#1414)

* Addl loop prevention for traverse_parent_state

Add some additional ways to prevent potential loops when traversing
parent state:

 - If the slow threadinfo ever has a tid of -1, stop.
 - If the slow threadinfo ever has ptid == tid, declare a loop and stop.

* Add more info to loop warning.

Include current pointer's tid/ptid.
