Subject: Normalize TRY_CATCH exception handling block

This normalizes some exception catch blocks that check for ex.reason
to look like this:

~~~
  volatile gdb_exception ex;

  TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
    {
      ...
    }
  if (ex.reason < 0)
    {
      ...
    }
~~~

This is a preparation step for running a script that converts all
TRY_CATCH uses to look like this instead:

~~~
  TRY
    {
      ...
    }
  CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
    {
      ...
    }
  END_CATCH
~~~

The motivation for that change is being able to reimplent TRY/CATCH in
terms of C++ try/catch.

This commit makes it so that:

 - no condition other than ex.reason < 0 is checked in the if
   predicate

 - there's no "else" block to check whether no exception was caught

 - there's no code between the TRY_CATCH (TRY) block and the
   'if (ex.reason < 0)' block (CATCH).

 - the exception object is no longer referred to outside the if/catch
   block.  Note the local volatile exception objects that are
   currently defined inside functions that use TRY_CATCH will
   disappear.  In cases it's more convenient to still refer to the
   exception outside the catch block, a new non-volatile local is
   added and copy to that object is made within the catch block.

The following patches should make this all clearer.
