Ok. It seems pretty clear that there is consensus on getting the watchpoint
data address (and possibly other info) when the target stops and not through
a separate query packet. I will try to work up a patch today that does this.
I will probably limit it to the 'T' packet for now. The 'T' packet is already
documented as being extendible for this sort of thing.
