I'd just like to point out that we already have code in the tree (and
for a decade) that dumps tracepoints into a file; the file can be
sourced as a cli script afterwards.  See breakpoint.c:tracepoint_save_command.
Since the tracepoint/breakpoints merge, it is trivial to extend that function
to dump breakpoints as well.

(gdb) help save-tracepoints
Save current tracepoint definitions as a script.
Use the 'source' command in another debug session to restore them.
