Document exp_descriptor.op_name should never return NULL.
This documents a constaint that struct exp_descriptor's "op_name" method implementation should obey. This might not have been part of the initial design, but is currently true of all instantiations, and already assumed by the current users. gdb/ChangeLog: * parser-defs.h (struct exp_descriptor): Document constraint on return value for "op_name" callbacks.
