gdb: implement missing debug handler hook for Python

Browse Source 
This commit builds on the previous commit, and implements the
extension_language_ops::handle_missing_debuginfo function for Python.
This hook will give user supplied Python code a chance to help find
missing debug information.

The implementation of the new hook is pretty minimal within GDB's C++
code; most of the work is out-sourced to a Python implementation which
is modelled heavily on how GDB's Python frame unwinders are
implemented.

The following new commands are added as commands implemented in
Python, this is similar to how the Python unwinder commands are
implemented:

  info missing-debug-handlers
  enable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER
  disable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER

To make use of this extension hook a user will create missing debug
information handler objects, and registers these handlers with GDB.
When GDB encounters an objfile that is missing debug information, each
handler is called in turn until one is able to help.  Here is a
minimal handler that does nothing useful:

  import gdb
  import gdb.missing_debug

  class MyFirstHandler(gdb.missing_debug.MissingDebugHandler):
      def __init__(self):
          super().__init__("my_first_handler")

      def __call__(self, objfile):
          # This handler does nothing useful.
          return None

  gdb.missing_debug.register_handler(None, MyFirstHandler())

Returning None from the __call__ method tells GDB that this handler
was unable to find the missing debug information, and GDB should ask
any other registered handlers.

By extending the __call__ method it is possible for the Python
extension to locate the debug information for objfile and return a
value that tells GDB how to use the information that has been located.

Possible return values from a handler:

  - None: This means the handler couldn't help.  GDB will call other
          registered handlers to see if they can help instead.

  - False: The handler has done all it can, but the debug information
           for the objfile still couldn't be found.  GDB will not call
	   any other handlers, and will continue without the debug
	   information for objfile.

  - True: The handler has installed the debug information into a
          location where GDB would normally expect to find it.  GDB
	  should look again for the debug information.

  - A string: The handler can return a filename, which is the file
              containing the missing debug information.  GDB will load
	      this file.

When a handler returns True, GDB will look again for the debug
information, but only using the standard built-in build-id and
.gnu_debuglink based lookup strategies.  It is not possible for an
extension to trigger another debuginfod lookup; the assumption is that
the debuginfod server is remote, and out of the control of extensions
running within GDB.

Handlers can be registered globally, or per program space.  GDB checks
the handlers for the current program space first, and then all of the
global handles.  The first handler that returns a value that is not
None, has "handled" the objfile, at which point GDB continues.
