[RFC] Cleanup breakpoint_re_set_one


Hi,

I was studying breakpoint_re_set_one and had to scratch my head for a
while before I could understand the error handling logic in the
breakpoints case. There's an unusually high incidence of double
negatives and booleans which when true mean that something is _not_
going on...

I considered changing b->condition_not_parsed to b->condition_parsed,
but that would be a very big and error-prone change. IMHO this
rearrangement of the expression is a good first step.

Changing decode_line_1's not_found to found would probably be easier,
but since I don't have a pressing need for that I didn't attempt to do
so here. I can provide a separate patch if you think it's worthwhile.

Tested with no regressions on ppc-linux and ppc64-linux. WDYT?
