[New-bugs-announce] [issue30761] pdb: Add step / next count arguments

[Louie Lu]

New submission from Louie Lu:

This propose to add *count* times on step and next instruction in pdb.

    step [count]
    next [count]

User can use `next [count]` to run next *count* times, or `step [count]` to run step *count* times, until it countdown, or occure a breakpoint.

Similar function has been implemented in gdb[1] before.
