Summary: pdb: implement "until",fix for 1248119

Initial Comment:
The patch implements the "until" command in pdb

"until" command 
continues execution until the line with a number
greater than the current one is reached or until the
current frame returns"""

which allows to quickly step through the loops or list
comprehensions without using temporary
breakpoints...(temporary breakpoints are often less
convenient: more to type, and the user needs to think
about line numbers)

The name "until" is borrowed from gdb..

There is a small issue of abbreviations current pdb
abbreviates 
up as "u"
until as "unt"

While gdb abbreviates until as "u", and up has no
abbreviation...

Should abbreviations be synced?
