gdb/python: flatten functions calling PyObject_New and use gdbpy_ref
This patch aims at systematically using gdbpy_ref<> at all call sites of PyObject_New(). This prepares for future patches that expect gdbby_ref<> parameters and affect return handling. As part of this change, flattening the affected functions so that the return logic becomes clearer and more flexible to adjust. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
