Generally, people expect functions to accept arguments directly. But
ones defined in gdbinit did not use the argument, which may be confusing
for newcomers. But we can't change behavior to use the argument without
breaking existing users of the gdbinit. Let's fix this by adding a check
for whether a user passed an argument, and either use it or go with
older behavior.

I love this... if it works :-) How was it tested? With what GDB versions?
I ran GCC under GDB, and set a breakpoint somewhere in the GCC code
where `stmt` variable is defined (I don't remember the type, ATM I'm
from another PC). Then I tested 3 things:
1. that `pgg stmt` prints the `stmt` content
2. that `p 0` followed by `pgg` prints nothing (because the underlying
function checks its argument for being zero)
3. that `p 1` followed by `pgg` crashes.
Tested on Archlinux, gdb version is 8.3.1
