    gdb, breakpoint: add a destructor to the watchpoint struct
    
    Make sure to unlink the related breakpoint when the watchpoint instance
    is deleted.  This prevents having a wp-related breakpoint that is
    linked to a NULL watchpoint (e.g.  the watchpoint instance is being
    deleted when the 'watch' command fails).  With the below scenario,
    having such a left out breakpoint will lead to a GDB hang, and this
    is due to an infinite loop when deleting all inferior breakpoints.
    
    Scenario:
            (gdb) set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0
            (gdb) awatch <SCOPE VAR>
            Can't set read/access watchpoint when hardware watchpoints are disabled.
            (gdb) rwatch <SCOPE VAR>
            Can't set read/access watchpoint when hardware watchpoints are disabled.
            (gdb) <continue the program until the end>
            >> HANG <<
