[PATCH v3 3/7] Catch gdb_exception_error instead of gdb_exception (in many places)

As described in the previous commit for this series, I became
concerned that there might be instances in which a QUIT (due to either
a SIGINT or SIGTERM) might not cause execution to return to the top
level. In some (though very few) instances, it is okay to not
propagate the exception for a Ctrl-C / SIGINT, but I don't think that
it is ever okay to swallow the exception caused by a SIGTERM.
Allowing that to happen would definitely be a deviation from the
current behavior in which GDB exits upon receipt of a SIGTERM.
I looked at all cases where an exception handler catches a
gdb_exception. Handlers which did NOT need modification were those
which satisifed one or more of the following conditions:
1) There is no call path to maybe_quit() in the try block. I used a
static analysis tool to help make this determination. In
instances where the tool didn't provide an answer of "yes, this
call path can result in maybe_quit() being called", I reviewed it
by hand.
2) The catch block contains a throw for conditions that it
doesn't want to handle; these "not handled" conditions
must include the quit exception and the new "forced quit" exception.
3) There was (also) a catch for gdb_exception_quit.
Any try/catch blocks not meeting the above conditions could
potentially swallow a QUIT exception.
My first thought was to add catch blocks for gdb_exception_quit and
then rethrow the exception. But Pedro pointed out that this can be
handled without adding additional code by simply catching
gdb_exception_error instead. That's what this patch series does.
There are some oddball cases which needed to be handled differently,
plus the extension languages, but those are handled in later patches.
