gdb: new 'maint print frame-id' command
When debugging a certain class of GDB bug, I often end up wanting to know what GDB thinks the frame-id is in a particular frame. It's not too hard to pull this from some debug output, but I thought it might be nice if there was a maintenance command that could tell us. This commit adds 'maint print frame-id' which prints the frame-id of the currently selected frame. You can also pass a frame level number to find the frame-id for a specific frame. There's a new test too.
