Quite apart from fix and continue, it would be useful when GDB realises that
an executable has been recompiled and says:

  `myprog' has changed; re-reading symbols.

if it could also compute and print the new breakpoint locations, possibly
only in MI as an event notification ("=breakpoints-changed").
