Use setjmp/longjmp for TRY/CATCH instead of sigsetjmp/siglongjmp

Now that we don't ever throw GDB exceptions from signal handlers [1],
we can switch to have TRY/CATCH implemented in terms of plain
setjmp/longjmp instead of sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00114.html, Yichun
Zhang mentions a 11%/14%+ speedup in his GDB python scripts with a
patch that did something similar to only a specific set of TRY/CATCH
calls.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.
