Subject: Don't ever Quit out of resume
caused regressions on software single-set targets, specifically:

FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted off: auto-hw on: single-step breakpoint is not left behind

FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted on: auto-hw on: single-step breakpoint is not left behind
and indeed detailed logs indicate a breakpoint is left lingering, e.g.:

d930703d68ae^.
Before commit
d930703d68ae, we had a cleanup installed in 'resume'
that would delete single-step breakpoints on error:
/* Resuming. */
/* Things to clean up if we QUIT out of resume (). */
static void
resume_cleanups (void *ignore)
{
if (!ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
delete_single_step_breakpoints (inferior_thread ());
normal_stop ();
}
That whole function was removed by
d930703d68ae mainly to eliminate
the normal_stop call:
~~~~
Note that the exception called from within resume ends up calling
normal_stop via resume_cleanups. That's very borked though, because
normal_stop is going to re-handle whatever was the last reported
event, possibly even re-running a hook stop...
~~~~
But as the regression shows, removing resume_cleanups completely went
a bit too far, as the delete_single_step_breakpoints call is still
necessary.
So fix the regression by reinstating the
delete_single_step_breakpoints call on error. However, since we're
trying to eliminate cleanups, restore it in a different form (using
TRY/CATCH).
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux both top of master and on top of a series
that implements software single-step on x86.
