[Bug gdb/9776] New: Keep checkpoints after restarting program

["uri at 4refs dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

It would be nice to be able to keep checkpoints around even after running the
program over again. Often times I don't know that I have to create a checkpoint
or where and by the time that the executable has stopped I have to rerun again.
I can then create the checkpoints but have to rerun again to the point of
failure again. If we kept it around from the last run, then I would save some time.

This problem would be somewhat alleviated by reversible debugging but only if it
were able to debug all the way back to the start of the program, which I suspect
it won't in the case of large programs. Even with reversible debugging around, I
think we should keep the checkpointing feature around since, as the document
says, they serve as bookmarks and not just as a way of examining a point in the
past.
