f32ce1b21d proc/native: fix race condition between Halt and process death (linux)
If a breakpoint is hit close to process death on a thread that isn't
the group leader the process could die while we are trying to stop it.

This can be easily reproduced by having the goroutine that's executing
main.main (which will almost always run on the thread group leader)
wait for a second goroutine before exiting, then setting a breakpoint
on the second goroutine and stepping through it (see TestIssue1101 in
proc_test.go).

When stepping over the return instruction of main.f the deferred
wg.Done() call will be executed which will cause the main goroutine to
resume and proceed to exit. Both the temporary breakpoint on wg.Done
and the temporary breakpoint on the return address of main.f will be in
close proximity to main.main calling os.Exit() and causing the death of
the thread group leader.

Under these circumstances the call to native.(*Thread).waitFast in
native.(*Thread).halt can hang forever due to a bug similar to
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12702 (see comment in
native.(*Thread).wait for an explanation).

Replacing waitFast with a normal wait work in most circumstances,
however, besides the performance hit, it looks like in this
circumstances trapWait sometimes receives a spurious SIGTRAP on the
dying group leader which would cause the subsequent call to wait in
halt to accidentally reap the process without noting that it did exit.

Instead this patch removes the call to wait from halt and instead calls
trapWait in a loop in setCurrentBreakpoints until all threads are set
to running=false. This is also a better fix than the workaround to
ESRCH error while setting current breakpoints implemented in 94b50d.

Fixes #1101

1ced7c3a60 proc: next should not skip lines with conditional bps
Conditional breakpoints with unmet conditions would cause next and step
to skip the line.

This breakpoint changes the Kind field of proc.Breakpoint from a single
value to a bit field, each breakpoint object can represent
simultaneously a user breakpoint and one internal breakpoint (of which
we have several different kinds).

The breakpoint condition for internal breakpoints is stored in the new
internalCond field of proc.Breakpoint so that it will not conflict with
user specified conditions.

The breakpoint setting code is changed to allow overlapping one
internal breakpoint on a user breakpoint, or a user breakpoint on an
existing internal breakpoint. All other combinations are rejected. The
breakpoint clearing code is changed to clear the UserBreakpoint bit and
only remove the phisical breakpoint if no other bits are set in the
Kind field. ClearInternalBreakpoints does the same thing but clearing
all bits that aren't the UserBreakpoint bit.

Fixes #844

178589a4e7 proc: breakpoints refactoring
Move some duplicate code, related to breakpoints, that was in both
backends into a single place.
This is in preparation to solve issue #844 (conditional breakpoints
make step and next fail) which will make this common breakpoint code
more complicated.
