+ (create_solib_event_breakpoint): ... this.
+ (create_and_insert_solib_event_breakpoint): Use
+ create_solib_event_breakpoint_1 instead of calling
+ insert_breakpoint_locations manually.
+ (update_global_location_list): Change parameter type from boolean
+ to enum ugll_insert_mode. All callers adjusted. Adjust to use
+ breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now and handle UGLL_INSERT.
+ (update_global_location_list_nothrow): Change parameter type from
+ boolean to enum ugll_insert_mode.
+ (_initialize_breakpoint): "breakpoint always-inserted" option is

+ (breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now): New declaration.
+ * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event) <TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED>:

* breakpoint.c (enum ugll_insert_mode): Add UGLL_INSERT.
(insert_breakpoints): Don't call insert_breakpoint_locations here.
Instead, pass UGLL_INSERT to update_global_location_list.
