This patch exposes explicit locations to the CLI user. This enables
users to "explicitly" specify attributes of the breakpoint location
to avoid any ambiguity that might otherwise exist with linespecs.
The general syntax of explicit locations is:
-source SOURCE_FILENAME -line {+-}LINE -function FUNCTION_NAME
-label LABEL_NAME
Option names may be abbreviated, e.g., "-s SOURCE_FILENAME -li 3" and users
may use the completer with either options or values.
