gdb/python: add PENDING_FRAMEPY_REQUIRE_VALID macro in py-unwind.c

This commit copies the pattern that is present in many other py-*.c
files: having a single macro to check that the Python object is still
valid.

This cleans up the code a little throughout the py-unwind.c file.

Some of the exception messages will change slightly with this commit,
though the type of the exceptions is still ValueError in all cases.

I started writing some tests for this change and immediately ran into
a problem: GDB would crash.  It turns out that the PendingFrame
objects are not being marked as invalid!

In pyuw_sniffer where the pending frames are created, we make use of a
scoped_restore to invalidate the pending frame objects.  However, this
only restores the pending_frame_object::frame_info field to its
previous value -- and it turns out we never actually give this field
an initial value, it's left undefined.

So, when the scoped_restore (called invalidate_frame) performs its
cleanup, it actually restores the frame_info field to an undefined
value.  If this undefined value is not nullptr then any future
accesses to the PendingFrame object result in undefined behaviour and
most likely, a crash.

As part of this commit I now initialize the frame_info field, which
ensures all the new tests now pass.
