Add global_context parameter to gdb.parse_and_eval
This adds a 'global_context' parse_and_eval to gdb.parse_and_eval. This lets users request a parse that is done at "global scope". I considered letting callers pass in a block instead, with None meaning "global" -- but then there didn't seem to be a clean way to express the default for this parameter.

GDB/MI command and returns the output as a Python dictionary.
+ ** gdb.parse_and_eval now has a new "global_context" parameter.
