The beginnings of a vaguely-useful sldb

Implement swank:frame-locals-and-catch-tags.  There are problems:

1. it seems that some names can be present in an environment but not have
   a value, causing eval to blow up;
2. the default printing routines aren't really adapted to the constraints
   of rendering in sldb;
3. trying to display locals of some of the swank frames (perhaps anything
   with a tryCatch or similar block?) causes R to complain about a promise
   already in the process of evaluation;
4. (probably) other things I haven't yet found
