Currently, when a local software watchpoint goes out of scope, GDB sets the watchpoint's disposition to `delete at next stop' and then normal stops (i.e., stop and wait for the next GDB command). When GDB normal stops, it automatically deletes the breakpoints with their disposition set to `delete at next stop'. Suppose a Python script decides not to normal stop when a local software watchpoint goes out of scope, the watchpoint will not be automatically deleted even when its disposition is set to `delete at next stop'. Since GDB single-steps the program and tests the watched expression after each instruction, not deleting the watchpoint causes the watchpoint to be hit many more times than it should, as reported in PR python/29603. This was happening because the watchpoint is not deleted or disabled when going out of scope. This commit fixes this issue by disabling the watchpoint when going out of scope. It also adds a test to ensure this feature isn't regressed in the future. Calling `breakpoint_auto_delete' on all kinds of stops (in `fetch_inferior_event') seem to solve this issue, but is in fact inappropriate, since `breakpoint_auto_delete' goes over all breakpoints instead of just going through the bpstat chain (which only contains the breakpoints that were hit right now).
