Improve error reporting when handling SystemTap SDT probes

This patch improves the error reporting when handling SystemTap SDT
probes.  "Handling", in this case, mostly means "parsing".

On gdb/probe.h, only trivial changes on functions' comments in order
to explicitly mention that some of them can throw exceptions.  This is
just to make the API a bit more clear.

On gdb/stap-probe.c, I have s/internal_error/error/ on two functions
that are responsible for parsing specific bits of the probes'
arguments: stap_get_opcode and stap_get_expected_argument_type.  It is
not correct to call internal_error on such situations because it is
not really GDB's fault if the probes have malformed arguments.  I also
improved the error reported on stap_get_expected_argument_type by also
including the probe name on it.

Aside from that, and perhaps most importantly, I added a check on
stap_get_arg to make sure that we don't try to extract an argument
from a probe that has no arguments.  This check issues an
internal_error, because it really means that GDB is doing something it
shouldn't.

Although it can be considered almost trivial, and despite the fact
that I am the maintainer for this part of the code, I am posting this
patch for review.  I will wait a few days, and if nobody has anything
to say, I will go ahead and push it.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-09-01  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* probe.h (struct probe_ops) <get_probe_argument_count,
	evaluate_probe_argument, enable_probe, disable_probe>: Mention in
	the comment that the function can throw an exception.
	(get_probe_argument_count): Likewise.
	(evaluate_probe_argument): Likewise.
	* stap-probe.c (stap_get_opcode): Call error instead of
	internal_error.
	(stap_get_expected_argument_type): Likewise.  Add argument
	'probe'.  Improve error message by mentioning the probe's name.
	(stap_parse_probe_arguments): Adjust call to
	stap_get_expected_argument_type.
	(stap_get_arg): Add comment.  Assert that 'probe->args_parsed' is
	not zero.  Call internal_error if GDB requests an argument but the
	probe has no arguments.
