Re: RFC: implement "catch signal"

On irc, Andrà said that at least his front end isn't handling catchpoint
at all.  So I would guess that changing this, at least for him, would be
fine.

CCing Marc Khouzam, to get the Eclipse perspective, and Dodji for
nemiver.

The background is that right now all catchpoints report
type="catchpoint" in MI; but it seems better to me to make this report
the real catchpoint type, e.g., type="catch-load" or something like
that.

The alternative is something like type="catchpoint",catch-type="load".

I sometimes think we should have a special "MI discuss" list just so we
can work these things out without requiring all the MI consumer authors
to filter through the main lists.  Just CCing a couple people whose
names I remember isn't very good... :)
