[RFA] scope_breakpoint -> internal breakpoint


Hi,

When a watchpoint is set on a local variable, GDB sets a breakpoint of 
type bp_watchpoint_scope to detect when the watchpoint is out of scope.

Right now, it does this using a "user-visible" breakpoint number (>0). 
This patch changes this so that this internal breakpoint is created as an 
internal breakpoint (<0). Section 5.1.2 of the user manual makes no 
mention of this breakpoint, so I am suggesting that we make it one of the 
optionally-displayed internal breakpoints.

I've run this through the testsuite and it introduces no new failures.
