This I'm not so sure about.

- Should there be a version of gdb_breakpoint that answers yes to the
pending question?
- If so, should runto use it?  Or should there be a version of runto
that does?

I think the latter might be best but I don't know what to call them. 
Maybe:
  gdb_breakpoint_allow_pending
  runto_allow_pending
