Add $_ada_exception convenience variable
This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the existing "catch" syntax. This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper functions. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-10-02 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * NEWS: Add $_ada_exception entry. * ada-lang.c (struct ada_catchpoint): Add constructor. <m_kind>: New member.
