gdb/arm: Stop unwinding on error, but do not assert

When it's impossible to read the FPCCR and XPSR, the unwinding is
unpredictable as the it's not possible to determine the correct
frame size or padding.
The only sane thing to do in this condition is to stop the unwinding.

Example session without this patch:

  (gdb) bt
  #0  SVC_Handler () at .../GPIO/GPIO_EXTI/Src/stm32f4xx_it.c:112
  .../gdb/arm-tdep.c:3594: internal-error: arm_m_exception_cache: Assertion `safe_read_memory_unsigned_integer (FPCCR, ARM_INT_REGISTER_SIZE, byte_order, &fpccr)' failed.
  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
