…080)

Before PR gdb/28080 was fixed by the previous patch, GDB was crashing
like this:

 (gdb) detach
 Detaching from program: target:/any/program, process 3671843
 Detaching from process 3671843
 Ending remote debugging.
 [Inferior 1 (process 3671843) detached]
 In main
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'
 Aborted (core dumped)

Here's the exception above being thrown:

Note frame riscvarchive#14:

 riscvarchive#14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

The previous patch fixed things such that the exception above isn't
thrown anymore.  However, it's possible that e.g., the remote
connection drops just while a user types "nosharedlibrary", or some
other reason that leads to objfile::~objfile, and then we end up the
same std::terminate problem.

Also notice that frames riscvarchive#9-riscvarchive#11 are BFD frames:

 riscvarchive#9  0x0000555555e09e3f in opncls_bclose (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:599

 riscvarchive#11 0x0000555555e0a27a in bfd_close (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:814

BFD is written in C and thus throwing exceptions over such frames may
either not clean up properly, or, may abort if bfd is not compiled
with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables (x86-64 defaults that on, but not
all GCC ports do).

Thus frame #8 seems like a good place to swallow exceptions.  More so
since in this spot we already ignore target_fileio_close return
errors.  That's what this commit does.  Without the previous fix, we'd
see:

 (gdb) detach
 Detaching from program: target:/any/program, process 2197701
 Ending remote debugging.
 [Inferior 1 (process 2197701) detached]
 warning: cannot close "target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2": Remote connection closed

Note it prints a warning, which would still be a regression compared
to GDB 10, if it weren't for the previous fix.
