Make sure Target::EvaluateExpression() passes up an error instead of silently dropping it.

When UserExpression::Evaluate() fails and doesn't return a ValueObject there is no vehicle for returning the error in the return value.

This behavior can be observed by applying the following patch:

diff --git a/lldb/source/Target/Target.cpp b/lldb/source/Target/Target.cpp
index f1a311b7252c..58c03ccdb068 100644
--- a/lldb/source/Target/Target.cpp
+++ b/lldb/source/Target/Target.cpp
@@ -2370,6 +2370,7 @@ UserExpression *Target::GetUserExpressionForLanguage(
     Expression::ResultType desired_type,
     const EvaluateExpressionOptions &options, ValueObject *ctx_obj,
     Status &error) {
+  error.SetErrorStringWithFormat("Ha ha!");  return nullptr;
   auto type_system_or_err = GetScratchTypeSystemForLanguage(language);
   if (auto err = type_system_or_err.takeError()) {
     error.SetErrorStringWithFormat(

and then running

$ lldb -o "p 1"
(lldb) p 1
(lldb)

This patch fixes this by creating an empty result ValueObject that wraps the error.
