Add a breakpoint at an address. Optional parameters are size, trigger, method, and function. Meaningful forms:

 debug_setBreakpoint(address)
 debug_setBreakpoint(address, function)
 debug_setBreakpoint(address, size, trigger)
 debug_setBreakpoint(address, size, trigger, function)
 debug_setBreakpoint(address, size, trigger, method)
 debug_setBreakpoint(address, size, trigger, method, function)

* size: integer. Number of bytes to break for counting from the address. Ignored if trigger is "execute" (the default).
* trigger: enum (integer). Type of access to break on. Default: bptExecute. Valid types are:[[https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/debuggertypedefinitions.pas#L37 debuggertypedefinitions.pas]]
** bptExecute: break when the instruction pointer EIP is in the area
** bptAccess: break when memory in the area is accessed
** bptWrite: break when memory in the area is written to
* method: enum (integer). How to implement the breakpoint. Default: Pascal variable preferedBreakpointMethod, set by ???. Valid methods are:[[https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/debuggertypedefinitions.pas#L30 debuggertypedefinitions.pas]]
