Report Python errors coming from gdb.post_event

PR python/14062 points out that errors coming from the gdb.post_event
callback are not reported.  This can make it hard to understand why
your Python code in gdb isn't working.

Because users have control over whether exceptions are printed at all,
it seems good to simply have post_event report errors in the usual
way.
