[Bug threads/10729] New: non-stop && hw-watchpoint: Couldn't write debug register: No such process.

["jan dot kratochvil at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Hardware watchpoints are now global, they are carbon-copied to each LWP.
If any of the LWPs are currently not stopped the carbon-copying fails.

Either the running LWPs should be left with stale hw-watchpoints (probably not)
or the running LWPs should be rather transparently temporarily stopped for a
moment to update their hardware watchpoint registers.
