Andrew Burgess 81b327aadd gdb/guile: improve the errors when creating breakpoints
When creating a breakpoint using the guile API, if an invalid
breakpoint type number was used then the error would report the wrong
argument position, like this:

  (gdb) guile (define wp2 (make-breakpoint "result" #:wp-class WP_WRITE #:type 999))
  ERROR: In procedure make-breakpoint:
  ERROR: In procedure gdbscm_make_breakpoint: Out of range: invalid breakpoint type in position 3: 999
  Error while executing Scheme code.
  (gdb)

The 'position 3' here is actually pointing at WP_WRITE, when it should
say 'position 5' and point to the 999.  This commit fixes this.

However, you also get errors like this:

  (gdb) guile (define wp2 (make-breakpoint "result" #:wp-class WP_WRITE #:type BP_NONE))
  ERROR: In procedure make-breakpoint:
  ERROR: In procedure gdbscm_make_breakpoint: Out of range: invalid breakpoint type in position 3: 0
  Error while executing Scheme code.

The BP_NONE is a valid breakpoint type, it's just not valid for
creating breakpoints through the 'make-breakpoint' API.  The use of
'0' in the error message (which is the value of BP_NONE) is not
great.  This commit changes the error in this case to:

  (gdb) guile (define wp2 (make-breakpoint "result" #:wp-class WP_WRITE #:type BP_NONE))
  ERROR: In procedure make-breakpoint:
  ERROR: In procedure gdbscm_make_breakpoint: unsupported breakpoint type in position 5: "BP_NONE"
  Error while executing Scheme code.

Which seems better; we now use the name of the type, and report that
this type is unsupported.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* guile/scm-breakpoint.c (gdbscm_make_breakpoint): Split the error
	for invalid breakpoint numbers, and unsupported breakpoint
	numbers.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.guile/scm-breakpoint.exp (test_watchpoints): Add new tests.
