    - tid : thread ID (mandatory)
    - name : thread name (optional key/value pair)
    - queue : thread dispatch queue name (optional key/value pair)
    - state : thread state (mandatory, set to 'stopped' for now)
    - core : the index of the core (lldb) thread that this OS Thread should shadow
    - stop_reason : thread stop reason. (mandatory, usually set to 'none')
        Possible values include:
        - 'breakpoint': thread is stopped at a breakpoint
        - 'none': thread is stopped because the process is stopped
        - 'trace': thread is stopped after single stepping
        The usual value for this while threads are in memory is 'none'
    - register_data_addr : the address of the register data in memory (optional key/value pair)
        Specifying this key/value pair for a thread will avoid a call to get_register_data()
        and can be used when your registers are in a thread context structure that is contiguous
        in memory. Don't specify this if your register layout in memory doesn't match the layout
        described by the dictionary returned from a call to the get_register_info() method.
