The DAP code already claimed to implement "scopes" and "evaluate", but
this wasn't done completely correctly.  This patch implements these
and also implements the "variables" request.

After this patch, variables and scopes correctly report their
sub-structure.  This also interfaces with the gdb pretty-printer API,
so the output of pretty-printers is available.
