[Bug translator/10019] New: more heuristics to suppress poor-debuginfo $context errors

bug #7071 introduced "--skip-badvars" as a translator option, to turn
$context expressions that have no dwarf location info into harmless "0"
literals. We could extend this further to apply to $context expressions
that do have dwarf location data, but is incorrect (so produces "kernel
read fault ..." errors).
The idea is that if "--skip-badvars" was active, the translator could
suppress errors that come back from loc2c-mediated problems, and silently
replace the missing values with 0. It'd extend --skip-badvars to become
a run-time analogue of its current translate-time behavior.
