ObjC: do not prepare instance variables for output unless there is an actual error message to print

ObjC: do not prepare instance variables for output unless there is an actual error message to print

[Nicola Pero]

This is another very small optimization.  Whenever the ObjC compiler
found an instance variable, it was preparing it for printing it
in error messages.

Of course, in the typical ObjC compilation run with Foundation and AppKit
the compiler will see about 1.5k instance variables, none of which will
generate any error message (in most cases), so this patch changes the
compiler to only do the work for pretty printing when there is an actual
error message to print.

The speedup is tiny.

Ok to commit ?

Thanks
