[PATCH 08/28] use CPYCHECKER_SETS_EXCEPTION

[Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>]

The checker defines an attribute that can be used to indicate that a
function sets the Python exception.

This patch introduces a new macro for this attribute and changes gdb
to use it.  I also changed gdbpy_convert_exception to return 'void'.
This is friendlier to the checker, which didn't recognize our current
convention; but also turns out to clean up the code a little.

	* python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Update.
	* python/py-type.c (typy_get_composite, typy_lookup_typename)
	(typy_lookup_type): Use GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION.
	* python/py-utils.c (gdbpy_convert_exception): Return 'void'.
	* python/python-internal.h (CPYCHECKER_SETS_EXCEPTION): New
	macro.
	(GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION): Update.
	(gdbpy_convert_exception): Update.  Use CPYCHECKER_SETS_EXCEPTION.
