Details:

The following Matlab commands give errors in Octave:


dbstop in ls
dbstop if error
dbstop ls 1 if i==1
s=dbstatus; dbclear all; dbstop (s)
dbstop if caught error


The first two can be achieved with different syntax, but the other three are
missing functionality.

The attached patch overhauls dbstop to make it almost compatible with Matlab,
including the integration of conditional breakpoints into the GUI.

Ideally, it would be applied as a series of smaller changesets, but I got no
feedback when I submitted the smaller patch #8784 and it is hard keeping too
many patches up-to-date with all of the changes happening to the global code.

Please let me know what I can do to get this patch applied.
