Avoid expression parsing crash with unknown language
PR gdb/28093 points out that gdb crashes when language is set to
"unknown" and expression parsing is attempted. At first I thought
this was a regression due to the expression rewrite, but it turns out
that older versions crash as well.
This patch avoids the crash by changing the default expression parser
to throw an exception. I think this is preferable -- the current
behavior of silently doing nothing does not really make sense.
