Normal errors bring up the debugger in tramp

Normal errors bring up the debugger in tramp

[Stefan Monnier]

   emacs -Q
   Options => Enter debugger on error
   C-x C-f /ssh:iro:h/1/inde TAB

does complete to ...:html/1215/index.html but it brings up the debugger
many times before getting there.  So I think the
tramp-compat-condition-case-unless-debug in tramp-file-name-handler is
not quite correct, because errors inside its body might be signalled for
perfectly normal reasons.

I wrap it now by a let-bind, which uses `tramp-debug-on-error'. Since
this construct is intended to allow Tramp debugging, this should be not
too restrictive to require setting this Tramp specific variable.
