[PATCH] Hardware breakpoint error reporting

Hi,

I've attached a patch to improve error reporting for hardware breakpoint 
insertion errors on remote targets. Currently the error response coming 
back over RSP is discarded, and instead the default error:

"... You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints."

is printed, which is often not helpful to users.

Note my copyright assignment is currently in progress.

Thanks,
Mike

	* gdb/remote.c (remote_insert_hw_breakpoint): Throw exception if
	there is an error inserting hardware breakpoints and use the
	error message from the target.

	* gdb/breakpoint.c (insert_bp_location, insert_breakpoint_locations):
	Catch this exception and print the error message contained within. Do not
	print the default hardware error breakpoint message in this case.
