[RFA] Reverse Debugging, 4/5


This patch (#4), adds special handling for the "finish" command
when executing in reverse.  The new code can't actually be 
invoked until patch #5 is added, and so has no user visible
effect.

Tested under RHEL native with no change in results.

2008-09-30  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>

	* breakpoint.h (breakpoint_silence): Export.
	* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_silence): New function.
	* infcmd.c (finish_command): Check for reverse exec direction.
	(finish_backward): New function, handle finish cmd in reverse.
