Data breakpoints / Memory read write interrupts #1410

Hello,

I'd love to set a "data breakpoint" or "memory breakpoint". Basically, given an address of memory I want the debugger to break if that memory is written. I think in some cases it's even possible to do read breakpoints.

If this is based on GDB (sorry I haven't looked at the code), this might not be too bad.

I'm on OS X 10.12.
VSCode Version 1.19.1 (1.19.1)
vscode-cpptools Version 0.14.5
I mainly write C++98 or C++11.
The only other plugin I'm using is CMake.
