gdb: add extension language print_insn hook
This commit is setup for the next commit. In the next commit I will add a Python API to intercept the print_insn calls within GDB, each print_insn call is responsible for disassembling, and printing one instruction. After the next commit it will be possible for a user to write Python code that either wraps around the existing disassembler, or even, in extreme situations, entirely replaces the existing disassembler. This commit does not add any new Python API. What this commit does is put the extension language framework in place for a print_insn hook. There's a new callback added to 'struct extension_language_ops', which is then filled in with nullptr for Python and Guile. Finally, in the disassembler, the code is restructured so that the new extension language function ext_lang_print_insn is called before we delegate to gdbarch_print_insn. After this, the next commit can focus entirely on providing a Python implementation of the new print_insn callback. There should be no user visible change after this commit.
