[RFA] Reverse Debugging, 3/5


This patch (#3) adds to the infrun event loop so that it 
knows what to do differently if execution-direction is
reverse.  This effectively makes reverse step, next, 
and continue work properly, except that there is no way
for them to be invoked (that comes in a later patch).

This patch can go in on top of #1 and #2 without any
user-visible changes.  Tested under RHEL native with 
no change in results.


2008-09-30  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>
	Event handling interface for reverse debugging.
	* infrun.c (enum inferior_stop_reason): Add NO_HISTORY reason.
	(handle_inferior_event): Handle TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_HISTORY.
	Handle stepping over a function call in reverse.
	Handle stepping thru a line range in reverse.
	Handle setting a step-resume breakpoint in reverse.
	Handle stepping into a function in reverse.
	Handle stepping between line ranges in reverse.
	(print_stop_reason): Print reason for NO_HISTORY.
