Add test to make sure GDB knows which "kind" of watchpoint the target has

This adds a test that makes sure GDB knows whether the target has
continuable, or non-continuable watchpoints.

That is, the test confirms that GDB presents a watchpoint value change
at the first instruction right after the instruction that changes
memory.

# Test that GDB presents a hardware watchpoint stop at the first
# instruction right after the instruction that changes memory.
#
# Some targets trigger a hardware watchpoint after the instruction
# that wrote memory executes, thus with the memory already changed and
# the PC pointing to the instruction after the instruction that wrote
# to memory. These targets are said to have "continuable"
# watchpoints, referring to the fact that to make progress after the
# watchpoint triggers, GDB just needs to continue the target.
#
# Other targets trigger a hardware watchpoint at the instruction which
# has attempted to write to the piece of memory under control of the
# watchpoint, with the instruction actually not executed yet. To be
# able to check whether the watched value changed, GDB needs to
# complete the memory write, single-stepping the target once. These
# targets are said to have "non-continuable" watchpoints.
#
# This test makes sure that GDB knows which kind of watchpoint the
# target has, using this sequence of steps:
#
# 1 - run to main
#
# 2 - set a software watchpoint
#
# 3 - continue until watchpoint triggers
#
# 4 - the PC now points to the instruction right after the instruction
# that actually caused the memory write. So this is the address a
# hardware watchpoint should present the stop to the user too.
# Store the PC address.
#
# 5 - replace the software watchpoint by a hardware watchpoint
#
# 6 - continue until hardware watchpoint triggers
#
# 7 - the PC must point to the same address the software watchpoint
# triggered at.
#
# If the target has continuable watchpoints, but GDB thinks it has
# non-continuable watchpoints, GDB will stop the inferior two
# instructions after the watched value change, rather than at the next
# instruction.
#
# If the target has non-continuable watchpoints, while GDB thinks it
# has continuable watchpoints, GDB will see a watchpoint trigger,
# notice no value changed, and immediatly continue the target. Now,
# either the target manages to step-over the watchpoint transparently,
# and GDB thus fails to present to value change to the user, or, the
# watchpoint will keep re-triggering, with the program never making
# any progress.
