The step-resume breakpoints have type bp_step_resume, which are handled
specially by breakpoint_re_set_one.  The std::terminate breakpoint is
just a plain bp_breakpoint.

I suppose I could add a new bptype, though that seems rather heavy for
this.

If you have a particular approach you think would be best, I would be
happy to implement that.
