improve Ada exception catchpoint MI notification
This rewrites the code generating the Ada exception catchpoint hit notification for both the GDB/MI case as well as the non-MI case, by using the relevant ui_out_* functions to generate the output. the MI notifications for Ada exception catchpoints now include the stop reason, and the breakpoint "disp", much like other breakpoint events do. It also introduces a new field "exception-name" for exception catchpoints (excluding "failed assertion catchpoints, where we just want to know that it was a failed assertion). gdb/ChangeLog: * breakpoint.h (bpdisp_text): Add declaration. * breakpoint.c (bpdisp_text): Make non-static. * ada-lang.c: #include "mi/mi-common.h". (print_it_exception): Rewrite to improve GDB/MI output. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Ada Exception Information): Document the "exception-name" field in the *stopped async record. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/mi_catch_ex: New testcase.
