Fix memory leak in exception code
PR gdb/24475 concerns a memory leak coming from gdb's exception
handling code.
The leak occurs because throw_exception_sjlj does not arrange to
destroy the exception object it is passed. However, because
gdb_exception has a destructor, it's undefined to longjmp in this
situation.
This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the need to run any
destructors in gdb_rl_callback_handler, by making the gdb_exception
"static".
