gdb/python: Add architecture method to gdb.PendingFrame
It could be useful to determine the architecture of a frame being unwound during the frame unwind process, that is, before we have a gdb.Frame, but when we only have a gdb.PendingFrame. The PendingFrame already has a pointer to the gdbarch internally, this commit just exposes an 'architecture' method to Python, and has this return a gdb.Architecture object (list gdb.Frame.architecture does). gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new Python API method. * python/py-unwind.c (pending_framepy_architecture): New function. (pending_frame_object_methods): Add architecture method. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-unwind.py (TestUnwinder::__call__): Add test for gdb.PendingFrame.architecture method. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texi (Unwinding Frames in Python): Document PendingFrame.architecture method.
