Don't reset watchpoint block on solib load.
* breakpoint.c (insert_bp_location): For watchpoints, recompute condition. (breakpoint_re_set_one): Instead of recomputing value and condition for watchpoints, just reset value and let insert_breakpoints/insert_bp_location recompute it. Don't do anything about disabled watchpoint.
