There is really no reason to call error in loclist_read_variable when we
can return VALUE_OPTIMIZED_OUT, like we already to in
dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc. Fixing that problem is orthogonal to the
general problem of not catching errors. That print_frame_args needs to
check for VALUE_OPTIMIZED_OUT is only because it calls val_print directly
without going through value_print. It already has to take care of NULL
value even though value_print would handle that as well. Sooner or later
it would probably have been required to add this case anyway.
