I started to do this but then realized that the "set step-mode" command
has a global state and the step_over_calls changes based on the command
being executed.

So, I will submit a revised patch with a enum'ized step_over_calls but keep
the step_stop_if_no_debug, if that is ok.

I'll also include the documentation that I neglected before.

Thanks for the feedback,
