Description

When setting breakpoints we request -symbol-list-line.

If you set 10 breakpoints in the same file, we make the request 10 times.

Rethink this to load it once per file.

Research direction

Trace breakpoint handling and the requests that issue -symbol-list-line, focusing on repeated requests for one file. Confirm the behavior with multiple breakpoints in the same file and verify that the symbol-list-line data is loaded once while all breakpoints still resolve correctly.
