Add new Python APIs to support DAP value display
gdb's language code may know how to display values specially. For
example, the Rust code understands that &str is a string-like type, or
Ada knows how to handle unconstrained arrays. This knowledge is
exposed via val-print, and via varobj -- but currently not via DAP.
This patch adds some support code to let DAP also handle these cases,
though in a somewhat more generic way.
Type.is_array_like and Value.to_array are added to make Python aware
of the cases where gdb knows that a structure type is really
"array-like".
Type.is_string_like is added to make Python aware of cases where gdb's
language code knows that a type is string-like.
Unlike Value.string, these cases are handled by the type's language,
rather than the current language.
