[PATCH] Extra error message from update_watchpoint


While working on this:
  URL

I found the error message:
  Expression cannot be implemented with read/access watchpoint.

is also issued when hardware watchpoints are turned off, this
error seems a little confusing as the problem is not the
expression, but that software read/access watchpoints is not
supported.

After the patch I've ADDED an extra error message:
  Software read/access watchpoints not supported.

Which will be selected where appropriate.

OK to apply?

Thanks,
Andrew
