Make breakpoint handling in record-full idempotent 

Some test fails in gdb.reverse/break-reverse.exp on arm-linux lead me
seeing the following error message,

continue^M
Continuing.^M
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.^M
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Further execution is probably impossible.^M
^M
Breakpoint 3, bar () at /home/yao/SourceCode/gnu/gdb/git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/break-reverse.c:22^M
22        xyz = 2; /* break in bar */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.reverse/break-reverse.exp: continue to breakpoint: bar backward

this is caused by two entries in record_full_breakpoints, and their addr
is the same, but in_target_beneath is different.

during the record, we do continue,

Continuing.

we can see breakpoint on 0x85f4 are inserted *twice*, but only removed
once.  That is fine to remote target, because Z/z packets are
idempotent, but there is a leftover in record_full_breakpoints
in record-full target.  The flow can be described as below,

                                record_full_breakpoints   remote target
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  forward execution, continue,    in_target_beneath 1     breakpoint inserted
  insert breakpoints on 0x85f4    in_target_beneath 1
  twice

  program stops,
  remove breakpoint on 0x85f4     in_target_beneath 1     breakpoint removed

  reverse execution, continue,    in_target_beneath 1     none is requested
  insert breakpoints on 0x85f4,   in_target_beneath 0

  program stops,
  remote breakpoint on 0x85f4,    in_target_beneath 0     request to remove,
                                                          but GDBserver
							  doesn't know

now, the question is why breakoint on 0x85f4 is inserted twice?  One
is the normal breakpoint, and the other is the single step breakpoint.
GDB inserts single step breakpoint to do single step.  When program
stops at 0x85f4, both of them are set on 0x85f4, and GDB deletes
single step breakpoint, so in update_global_location_list, this
breakpoint location is no longer found, GDB call
force_breakpoint_reinsertion to mark it condition_updated, and insert
it again.

The reason force_breakpoint_reinsertion is called to update the
conditions in the target side, because the conditions may be
changed.  My original fix is to not call force_breakpoint_reinsertion
if OLD_LOC->cond is NULL, but it is not correct if another location
on the same address has condition, GDB doesn't produce condition for
target side, but GDB should do.

Then, I change my mind back to make record-full handling breakpoint
idempotent, to align with remote target.  Before insert a new entry
into record_full_breakpoints, look for existing one on the same
address first.  I also add an assert on
"bp->in_target_beneath == in_target_beneath", to be safer.
