Bad user experience with first time debugging

Currently, if you are using GDB/LLDB and try debugging Rust for the first time, you get a bad experience. This is because GDB/LLDB tutorials instruct users to start with b main, but main has no source, because it is not Rust main.

I think this is bad enough that we should consider things up to modifying rust-gdb and rust-lldb to override b main to print a warning.
