Integration of timed breakpoints into GDB

[logitech <supriya.rao17@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I have attached a patch file which integrates timed breakpoints into gdb. 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p32418104/patchfile.patch patchfile.patch 
The format of the command is "break 'x's 'y'us" where 's' and 'us' stand for
seconds and microseconds respectively. Eg. break 1s 0us
When the program execution begins, it breaks after 1sec. On continuing, the
program resumes again and breaks after 1 sec. 
To continuously break the program after a specific time interval a separate
script can be written as shown :

break 0s 500us
run
while(1)
p $pc
c
end 
quit

Further details about the implementation can be found here

Timed breakpoint  

I would highly appreciate comments and feedback from your side regarding the
same.
Thank you.
