gdb-mi.el supports set breakpoints when debugged program is running

[Diancheng Wang]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 285 bytes --]

Hi,

Gdb can set breakpoints when debugged program is running in non-stop
mode, but gdb-mi.el does not support this even when `gdb-non-stop' is t.
It is caused by that `gud-def' sends nothing if `gud-running' is t.

The fixed patch is attached.

BTW. my assignment number is 1597467.
