[PATCH 17/20] Make exception throwing a bit more efficient

[Tom Tromey <tom at tromey dot com>]

This makes exception throwing a bit more efficient, by removing some
copies.  This is good now that exceptions are more expensive to copy.

gdb/ChangeLog
2019-02-13  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* common/common-exceptions.c (throw_exception): Rename from
	throw_exception_cxx.  Remove old copy.  Make argument const.
	(throw_it): Create and throw exception objects directly.
	* common/common-exceptions.h (throw_exception): Make argument
	const.
