[PATCH] gdb: explore.py: remove check_args return value

[PATCH] gdb: explore.py: remove check_args return value

[Simon Marchi]

The check_args function raises an exception if the args are not
appropriate, so it will never return False.  The return value is in fact
completely unnecessary, as it can only return True.  Remove the return
value and adjust the callers.   Add some tests for these cases.
