This patch implements the DAP setVariable request.
setVariable is a bit odd in that it specifies the variable to modify
by passing in the variable's container and the name of the variable.
This approach can't handle variable shadowing (there are a couple of
open DAP bugs on this topic), so this patch renames duplicates to
avoid the problem.
