    [gdb/testsuite] Catch condition evaluation errors in gdb_assert

    When running test-case gdb.base/watchpoint-stops-at-right-insn.exp, we may
run
    into a tcl error, which can be reproduced reliably using this trigger
patch:
    ...
    +       set hw_watch_pc ""
            gdb_assert {$sw_watch_pc == $hw_watch_pc} \
              "hw watchpoint stops at right instruction"
    ...
    such that we have:
    ...
    ERROR: tcl error sourcing watchpoint-stops-at-right-insn.exp.
    ERROR: missing operand at _@_
    in expression "0x4004b7 == _@_"
        (parsing expression "0x4004b7 == ")
        invoked from within
    "expr $sw_watch_pc == $hw_watch_pc"
        ("uplevel" body line 1)
        invoked from within
    "uplevel 1 expr $condition"
        (procedure "gdb_assert" line 6)
        invoked from within
    "gdb_assert {$sw_watch_pc == $hw_watch_pc} \
      "hw watchpoint stops at right instruction""
    ...

    A similar problem was fixed in commit 5f0e2eb79e "GDB/testsuite: Fix a
    catastrophic step-over-no-symbols.exp failure", by making the assert
condition
    more robust:
    ...
    -    gdb_assert {$before_addr != $after_addr} "advanced"
    +    gdb_assert {{[string is integer -strict $before_addr] \
    +                && [string is integer -strict $after_addr] \
    +                && $before_addr != $after_addr}} "advanced"
    ...

    Fix this instead in gdb_assert, by catching errors while evaluating the
assert
    condition.

    Tested on x86_64-linux.
