Allow re-assigning to convenience variables

In Ada mode, re-assigning an array of a different size to a
convenience variable will cause an error:

    (gdb) set lang ada
    (gdb) set $v := "abc"
    (gdb) set $v := "abcd"
    cannot assign arrays of different length

However, this does not really make sense -- instead, it should always
be possible to overwrite a convenience variable.

This patch fixes this bug.

This was reviewed off-list by Joel.  I'm checking it in.
