Add Python support for dynamic types
This changes the gdb Python API to add support for dynamic types. In
particular, this adds an attribute to gdb.Type, and updates some
attributes to reflect dynamic sizes and field offsets.
There's still no way to get the dynamic type from one of its concrete
instances. This could perhaps be added if needed.
