TUI: don't let exceptions escape while handling readline key bindings

I noticed that with:

 $ TERM=dumb ./gdb -q -nx
 <c-x,a>
 Cannot enable the TUI: terminal doesn't support cursor addressing [TERM=dumb]
 (gdb)

The next key the user types is silently eaten.

The problem is that we're throwing an exception while in a readline
callback that isn't prepared for that:

Here, in _rl_dispatch_subseq:

769
770               rl_executing_keymap = map;
771
772               rl_dispatching = 1;
773               RL_SETSTATE(RL_STATE_DISPATCHING);
774               (*map[key].function)(rl_numeric_arg * rl_arg_sign, key);
775               RL_UNSETSTATE(RL_STATE_DISPATCHING);
776               rl_dispatching = 0;
777
778               /* If we have input pending, then the last command was a prefix
779                  command.  Don't change the state of rl_last_func.  Otherwise,

GDB is called from line 774, but longjmp'ing at that point leaves
rl_dispatching and RL_STATE_DISPATCHING set.

Fix this by wrapping tui_rl_switch_mode in a TRY_CATCH.

* tui/tui.c (tui_rl_switch_mode): Wrap tui_enable/tui_disable in
TRY_CATCH.
