[binutils-gdb] Fix PR19548: Breakpoint re-set inserts breakpoints when it shouldn't

Fix PR19548: Breakpoint re-set inserts breakpoints when it shouldn't

PR19548 shows that we still have problems related to 13fd3ff34329:

 [PR17431: following execs with "breakpoint always-inserted on"]
 https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00733.html

The problem this time is that we currently update the global location
list and try to insert breakpoint locations after re-setting _each_
breakpoint in turn.

Say:

 - We have _more_ than one breakpoint set.  Let's assume 2.

 - There's a breakpoint with a pre-exec address that ends up being an
   unmapped address after the exec.

 - That breakpoint is NOT the first in the breakpoint list.

Then when handling an exec, and we re-set the first breakpoint in the
breakpoint list, we mistakently try to install the old pre-exec /
un-re-set locations of the other breakpoint, which fails:

 (gdb) continue
 Continuing.
 process 28295 is executing new program: (...)/execl-update-breakpoints2
 Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
 Cannot insert breakpoint 2.
 Cannot access memory at address 0x1000764

 Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd368) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.c:34
 34        len = strlen (argv[0]);
 (gdb)

Fix this by deferring the global location list update till after all
breakpoints are re-set.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
