[RFA] Try2: Ignore breakpoints when reading memory.


This a second attempt at making gdb always ignore
any memory breakpoints that are inserted and show the original
memory content. This patch is the immediate prerequisite for the
patch that makes breakpoints always inserted.

Unlike the previous patch, there's a mechanism to:
1. Control the new behaviour from command line.
2. Temporary force specific behavior, if some code
needs it.

OK?

	* breakpoint.h (breakpoint_restore_shadows): New
	declaration.
	* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_restore_shadows): New.
	(read_memory_nobpt): Use breakpoint_restore_shadows.
	* target.c (memory_xfer_partial): Call
	breakpoint_restore_shadows.
	(restore_show_memory_breakpoints)
	(make_show_memory_beakpoints_cleanup): New.
	(show_memory_breakpoints, show_show_memory_breakpoints): New.
	(initialize_targets): Register set/show 'show-memory-breakpoints'.
	* target.h (make_show_memory_beakpoints_cleanup): Declare.
	* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_memory_remove_breakpoint):
	Make sure we see memory breakpoints when checking if
	breakpoint is still there.
