Nope, oops. Here's v2, that fixes this and also removes an unnecessary
return -- which is kind of the main motivation of this change, the 'if'
sometimes results in the compiler thinking the macro doesn't return,
whereas it does.

commit 0527427edccf5328449bf16be84d209e3ae750ff

Remove 'if' from GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION
This removes the embedded 'if' from GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION and
GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION. I believe this 'if' was necessary with
the old gdb try/catch macros, but it no longer is: these should only
ever be called from a 'catch' block, where it's already known that an
exception was thrown.
Simon pointed out, though, that in a few spots, these were in facts
called outside of 'catch' blocks. This patch cleans up these spots.
I also found one spot where a redundant 'return nullptr' could be
removed.
