[rfc] Set a breakpoint's type before adjusting its address

- Subject: [rfc] Set a breakpoint's type before adjusting its address
At the moment, running GDB on an FR-V target will generate lots of
"reading through apparently deleted breakpoint" warnings. This is due
to the fact that (due to architectural constraints) FR-V needs to
adjust breakpoint addresses. When it does so, it reads through
read_memory_nobpt(), triggering the warning due to the fact that the
breakpoint's type hasn't been set yet. The patch below moves the type
assignment prior to the adjustment thus avoiding this situation.
Comments?
* breakpoint.c (set_raw_breakpoint): Set breakpoint type before
attempting to adjust its address.
