Right, but since we don't really know what that feature was about, I'd
suggest to leave a comment in adjust_pc_after_break that mentions
HANDLE_NONSTEPPABLE_WATCHPOINTS and that its support, if needed,
should be added.

What happens if a location has both software and hardware
breakpoints? Does the code still DTRT?

The original code didn't check these conditions, right? So why add
them here? (Also, the comment doesn't seem to describe the two
tests, only the second one.)
