      This is called from the debug sync parser. It arms the action for

      Setting an action for a sync point means to make the sync point
      active. When it is hit it will execute this action.
  
      Before parsing, we "get" an action object. This is placed at the
      end of the thread's action array unless the requested sync point
      has an action already.
  
      Then the parser fills the action object from the request string.
  
      Finally the action is "set" for the sync point. If it was parsed
      to be empty, it is removed from the array. If it did belong to a
      sync point before, the sync point becomes inactive. If the action
      became non-empty and it did not belong to a sync point before (it
      was added at the end of the action array), the action array needs
      to be sorted by sync point.
  
      If the sync point name is "now", it is executed immediately.

      character except of ASCII NUL ('\0') contains a byte with value 0,
      and that ASCII NUL ('\0') is used as the string terminator.
  
      This function needs to return tokens that are terminated with ASCII
      NUL ('\0'). The tokens are used in my_strcasecmp(). Unfortunately

      The function takes a space character or an ASCII NUL ('\0') as a

      If the terminator of the token is ASCII NUL ('\0'), it returns a

      If the terminator is a space character, it replaces the the first
      byte of the terminator character by ASCII NUL ('\0'), skips the (now
      corrupted) terminator character, and skips all following space
      characters. It returns a pointer to the next non-space character or
