new function perror_string extracted out of throw_perror_with_name.
The main purpose of this patch is to extract the part of throw_perror_with_name that computes a string providing the system error message combined with a prefix string. This will become useful later on to provide a routine which prints a warning using that perror_string, rather than throwing an error. gdb/ChangeLog: * utils.c (perror_string): New function, extracted out of throw_perror_with_name. (throw_perror_with_name): Rework to use perror_string.
