Introduce ref_ptr::new_reference

I noticed a common pattern with gdb::ref_ptr, where callers would
"incref" and then create a new wrapper object, like:

    Py_INCREF (obj);
    gdbpy_ref<> ref (obj);

The ref_ptr constructor intentionally does not acquire a new
reference, but it seemed to me that it would be reasonable to add a
static member function that does so.

In this patch I chose to call the function "new_reference".  I
considered "acquire_reference" as well, but "new" seemed less
ambiguous than "acquire" to me.
