Add all breakpoint request activities to the source pane for the Debug Tool GUI

Add an option (right click) in the source pane to invoke any type of breakpoint. In classes, most people are trying to right click the source pane to add an 'AT ENTRY' breakpoint. This function is available in the breakpoint window, but that is typically not where they look for it. See the attachment for details.
