Stop breakpoint commands from poping the target

[Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com>]

This patch goes on top of Vladimir's pending async fixes patch.

commands.exp triggers the problem this patch addresses, in
async mode.

In that test, we have a watch on a local variable, and then we
add a command to that watch to print the local variable's
value.  When the variable goes out of scope, gdb prints that,
and also runs the associated commands with the watch.  Since
the variable is out of scope, and error is thrown.  In sync
targets, the exception just ends the breakpoints command
processing, and goes on to proceed with the command loop.  But in
async mode, the exception ends up in
inf-loop.c:inferior_event_handler/INF_REG_EVENT, which considers exceptions
fatal, and pops the target.  The fix is to catch the exception earlier.

Imagine the following command list associated with a breakpoint:
  non_existing_command
  info target

As and example, in sync mode, trying to execute
non_existing_command causes an error that stops the
interpreting of all subsequent commands, hence info target is
never executed.  The patch installs the same behaviour for
async targets.

commands.exp passes cleanly with the linux native async patch
I'll post next.
