    On Fedora 28, gdb fails to read (some?) debug symbols:
    "Dwarf Error: could not find partial DIE containing offset 0x316 [in module /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python3.6-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64.debug]"
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1613614

    In this case, the "py-bt" command of python-gdb.py fails with a TypeError:

    (gdb) py-bt
Traceback (most recent call first):
  <unknown at remote 0x7ffff7e5f7e0>
Python Exception <class 'TypeError'> 'FakeRepr' object is not subscriptable: 
Error occurred in Python command: 'FakeRepr' object is not subscriptable

    python-gdb.py shouldn't fail on such case, but handle the error.

    Attached PR fix this issue.

    The bug can be reproduced using this change:

    (Don't forget to run "make" again to copy Tools/gdb/libpython.py to python-gdb.py.)
