Tankut Baris Aktemur da1df1db9a gdb/breakpoint: make a copy of the "commands" command's argument
When GDB reads commands from the input, its internal buffer is re-used
for each line.  This is usually just fine because commands are
executed in order; by the time we read the next line, we are already
done with the current line.  However, a problematic case is breakpoint
commands that are input from a script.  The header (e.g. commands 1 2)
is overwritten with the next line before the breakpoint numbers are
processed completely.

For example, suppose we have the following script:

  break main
  break main
  commands 1 2
    print 100123
  end

and source this script:

  (gdb) source script.gdb
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x1245: file main.cpp, line 27.
  Breakpoint 2 at 0x1245: file main.cpp, line 27.
  No breakpoint number 123.

Note the "No breakpoint number 123." error message.  This happens
because GDB first reads "commands 1 2" into its internal buffer

  buffer -> "commands 1 2"

and then starts parsing the breakpoint numbers.  After parsing the first
token, the "next token" pointer is as below:

  buffer -> "commands 1 2"
  next-token -----------^

So, if we continue parsing, we would tokenize "2" correctly.  However,
before parsing the next number, GDB reads the commands to attach them
to breakpoint 1.  Reading the commands causes the buffer to be
overwritten:

  buffer -> "  print 100123"
  next-token -----------^

So, the next time we parse the breakpoint number, we read "123".

To fix, simply create a copy of the arguments of the header.
