[RFC] init_breakpoint_sal: Add quotes around part of command in error message

Hello,

What do you guys think of the following change.  If changes:

    (gdb) b *rendez_vous'address TASK 2
    Garbage TASK 2 at end of command

... into ...

    (gdb) b *rendez_vous'address TASK 2
    Garbage `TASK 2' at end of command

(actually, the current output is `Garbage 2 at end of command', but
that's a bug that I am planning on fixing).

Surprisingly, this doesn't appear to be tested at all, at the moment,
as a quick grep for `Garbage' in all of gdb/testsuite did not yield
any match.  I will submit a testcase with my fix that will test this.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * breakpoint.c (init_breakpoint_sal): Add quotes around part
        of command in two error message.

Untested for now, just trying to get feedback. Will definitely test
before checking in, if people like the change.

Thanks,

Joel
