Show enabled locations with disabled breakpoint parent as "y-"
Currently, breakpoint locations that are enabled while their parent breakpoint is disabled are displayed with "y" in the Enb colum of "info breakpoints": (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep n <MULTIPLE> 1.1 y 0x00000000000011b6 in ... 1.2 y 0x00000000000011c2 in ... 1.3 n 0x00000000000011ce in ... Such locations won't trigger a break, so to avoid confusion, show "y-" instead. For example: (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep n <MULTIPLE> 1.1 y- 0x00000000000011b6 in ... 1.2 y- 0x00000000000011c2 in ... 1.3 n 0x00000000000011ce in ... The "-" sign is inspired on how the TUI represents breakpoints on the left side of the source window, with "b-" for a disabled breakpoint. Change-Id: I9952313743c51bf21b4b380c72360ef7d4396a09

It's quite common to have a breakpoint inside a shared library.
Shared libraries can be loaded and unloaded explicitly,
