Yeah. For -var-list, I've modified the manual to say that -var-list tries
to return previously-created varobjs.

For -var-list --registers I did not implement such reusing logic, because
I feel it's not very important performance-wise (yet?). For -var-list --locals,
we'll certainly have reuse of previously-created varobj, though.
