(Ada) New command to stop at start of exception handler.

When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions.  Let's
use this small example:

procedure Foo is
begin
   begin
      raise Constraint_Error;
   exception
      when Program_Error =>
         null;
      when Constraint_Error =>
         null;
      when others =>
         null;
   end;
end Foo;

One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:

(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)

In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:

   begin
>>>   raise Constraint_Error;
   exception

This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:

(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo

By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:

Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25          when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)

It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program.  With this patch, we can use:

(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)

Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:

(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0
