Implement repl evaluation for DAP

The evaluate command supports a "context" parameter which tells the
adapter the context in which an evaluation occurs.  One of the
supported values is "repl", which we took to mean evaluation of a gdb
command.  That is what this patch implements.

Note that some gdb commands probably will not work correctly with the
rest of the protocol.  For example if the user types "continue",
confusion may result.

This patch requires the earlier patch to fix up scopes in DAP.
