[gdb/exp] Improve <error reading variable> message

When printing a variable x in a subroutine foo:
...
subroutine foo (x)
  integer(4) :: x (*)
  x(3) = 1
end subroutine foo
...
where x is an array with unknown bounds, we get:
...
$ gdb -q -batch outputs/gdb.fortran/array-no-bounds/array-no-bounds \
  -ex "break foo" \
  -ex run \
  -ex "print x"
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005cf: file array-no-bounds.f90, line 18.

Breakpoint 1, foo (x=...) at array-no-bounds.f90:18
18        x(3) = 1
$1 = <error reading variable>
...

Improve the error message by printing the details of the error, such that we
have instead:
...
$1 = <error reading variable: failed to get range bounds>
...

This is a change in gdb/valprint.c, and grepping through the sources reveals
that this is a common pattern.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
