Eliminate catch_exceptions/catch_exceptions_with_msg

This patch gets rid of catch_exceptions / catch_exceptions_with_msg.
The latter is done mostly by getting rid of the three remaining
vestigial libgdb wrapper functions, which are really pointless
nowadays.  This results in a good number of simplifications.

(I checked that Insight doesn't use those functions.)

The gdb.mi/mi-pthreads.exp change is necessary because this actually
fixes a bug, IMO -- the patch stops MI's -thread-select causing output
on the CLI stream.

I.e., before:
 -thread-select 123456789
 &"Thread ID 123456789 not known.\n"
 ^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."
 (gdb)

After:
 -thread-select 123456789
 ^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."
 (gdb)
