Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Something that I would like to see implemented is the possibility to remember the breakpoints I set during the last session in an implicit way. For implicit I mean not something like save and load. But something it remember the previous configuration

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Would be nice to have a system that even if I close the session or the server is able to remember and restore the breakpoints of the last session regarding a certain binary. So the idea is to save the breakpoint profile based on full path binary location. A potential conflict could rise from the multi-user aspect of gdb-gui. In the sense that if two users debug the same binary in the same folder there could conflicts in the breakpoint profile. I would consider this case realistically remote and unlikely.

I would take charge of this PR in case. (Not sure when)

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how gdbgui currently creates, applies, and clears breakpoints across a session, then identify the persistence boundary; done means a binary-specific breakpoint profile is restored after restart and the multi-user conflict behavior is explicitly decided.
