gdb: only insert thread-specific breakpoints in the relevant inferior
This commit updates GDB so that thread or inferior specific breakpoints are only inserted into the program space in which the specific thread or inferior is running. In terms of implementation, getting this basically working is easy enough, now that a breakpoint's thread or inferior field is setup prior to GDB looking for locations, we can easily use this information to find a suitable program_space and pass this to as a filter when creating the sals. Or we could if breakpoint_ops::create_sals_from_location_spec allowed us to pass in a filter program_space. So, this commit extends breakpoint_ops::create_sals_from_location_spec to take a program_space argument, and uses this to filter the set of returned sals. This accounts for about half the change in this patch. The second set of changes starts from breakpoint_set_thread and breakpoint_set_inferior, this is called when the thread or inferior for a breakpoint changes, e.g. from the Python API. Previously this call would never result in the locations of a breakpoint changing, after all, locations were inserted in every program space, and we just use the thread or inferior variable to decide when we should stop. Now though, changing a breakpoint's thread or inferior can mean we need to figure out a new set of breakpoint locations. To support this I've added a new breakpoint_re_set_one function, which is like breakpoint_re_set, but takes a single breakpoint, and just updates the locations for that one breakpoint. We only need to call this function if the program_space in which a breakpoint's thread (or inferior) is running actually changes. If the program_space does change then we call the new breakpoint_re_set_one function passing in the program_space which should be used to filter the new locations (or nullptr to indicate we should set locations in all program spaces). This filter program_space needs to propagate down to all the re_set methods, this accounts for the remaining half of the changes in this patch. There were a couple of existing tests that created thread or inferior specific breakpoints and then checked the 'info breakpoints' output, these needed updating. These were: gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.exp gdb.multi/bp-thread-specific.exp gdb.multi/multi-target-continue.exp gdb.multi/multi-target-ping-pong-next.exp gdb.multi/tids.exp gdb.mi/new-ui-bp-deleted.exp gdb.multi/inferior-specific-bp.exp gdb.multi/pending-bp-del-inferior.exp I've also added some additional tests to: gdb.multi/pending-bp.exp I've updated the documentation and added a NEWS entry.
