[patch] Add cleanup branch for std::terminate breakpoints in call_function_by_hand


This patches fixes a breakpoint leak that may occur when an inferior function call is performed within a C++ executable. It adds a do_cleanup call at one of the function exit entry points. (call_function_by_hand can exit in several different scenarios, depending on the result of the inferior call).

I decided to place a condition around the do_cleanup over a null_cleanup just to save endless null_cleanup calls when the inferior is a C executable (the cleanup is never needed there, as the breakpoint is not set).

Apologies for introducing this bug a few months back, and finding and fixing it during this busy (release) time!

I tested this on x86_64 with no regressions.

Regards


Phil
