Re: [RFA]: threaded watchpoint test


(1) The test suite does not keep its own info.  The test suite asks
    gdb whether gdb supports feature X, and trusts gdb.

(2) The test suite keeps separate info.  That way, the test suite
    is actually testing gdb, not just asking and trusting it.
    But the info can get out of sync.

(2A) A whitelist of systems to test.

(2B) A blacklist of systems not to test.

We need both:


- the testsuite asks and trusts GDB if feature X is supported

- cross-check test confirming that GDB matches theory

That way as each feature is implemented, the testsuite's coverage expands accordingly. But, if there's a screwup, the cross-check detects the problem.
