[PATCH/RFA] Testsuite improvements for non-decr_pc_after_break i386

[Mark Kettenis]

Toying with PR_BPTADJ on Solaris uncovered a problem with the
i386-prologue.exp test.  Here's a patch that makes sure we skip the
hardcoded breakpoints before continueing.

Since this isn't completely trivial, I'd like another pair of eyes to
look at this before I check this in.

Tested on i386-unknown-freebsd4.7 and i386-unknown-solaris2.9 (with
PR_BPTADJ patch).

	* gdb.arch/i386-prologue.exp (skip_breakpoint): New function.  Use
	it to skip the breakpoints encoded in the inline assembly.
