Add a new class gdb.Architecture which exposes GDB's
internal representation of architecture via GDB Python API. * Makefile.in: Add entries corresponding to the new file python/py-arch.c. * NEWS (Python Scripting): Add entries for the new class gdb.Architecture and the new method gdb.Frame.architecture. * python/py-arch.c: Implement gdb.Architecture class. * python/py-frame.c (frapy_arch): Implement the method gdb.Frame.architecture(). (frame_object_methods): Add 'architecture' to the method table. * python/python-internal.h: Add declarations of new utility functions. * python/python.c (_initialize_python): Initialize gdb.Architecture class. * doc/gdb.texinfo (Architectures In Python): New sub-sub-section describing the gdb.Architecture class. (Frames In Python): Add description about the new method gdb.Frame.architecture(). * testsuite/gdb.python/frame.exp: Add a test for gdb.Frame.architecture() method.
