Introduce gdb.ValuePrinter
There was an earlier thread about adding new methods to
pretty-printers:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-June/200503.html
We've known about the need for printer extensibility for a while, but
have been hampered by backward-compatibilty concerns: gdb never
documented that printers might acquire new methods, and so existing
printers may have attribute name clashes.
To solve this problem, this patch adds a new pretty-printer tag class
that signals to gdb that the printer follows new extensibility rules.
