python: Add Inferior.progspace property
This patch adds a progspace property to the gdb.Inferior type, which
allows getting the gdb.Progspace object associated to that inferior.
In conjunction with the following patch, this will allow scripts iterate
on objfiles associated with a particular inferior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_get_progspace): New function.
(inferior_object_getset): Add progspace property.
* NEWS: Mention the new property.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Document
Inferior.progspace.
(Program Spaces In Python): Document that
gdb.current_progspace() is the same as
gdb.selected_inferior().progspace.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-inferior.exp: Add tests for Inferior.progspace
and a few other Inferior properties when the Inferior is no
longer valid.
