Re: [SCM] master: Resequence Running and Stepping handleTrappedEvents to better flow with multiple events happening on one sigtrap.

Re: [SCM] master: Resequence Running and Stepping handleTrappedEvents to better flow with multiple events happening on one sigtrap.

Mark and I reworked the Stepping and Running handleTrappedEvent states 
to now properly accommodate watchpoints. This required rewriting the 
flow to accumulate blockers through stepping, code software breakpoints, 
hardware data watchpoints, and unhandled sigtraps. This is code is 
pretty rich in edge cases. So there is a case building to re-architect 
it.  However doing it now, while blind the inevitable edge-cases 
watchpoints will continue to bring would be premature.  This code 
primarily alters the program flow so that  a code breakpoint, a hardware 
watchpoint, nor a step will consume a sigtrap and starve any other 
dependent events. It's passed on down to each interested event, and the 
number of blockers accumulated returned. If none of the events are 
interested in the sigtrap, the sigtrap just gets passed onto the task.
