gdb/doc: fix the example for get_set_string in Python API docs
The small example for gdb.Parameter.get_set_string does not return a string. The documentation is very clear that this method must return a string, and indeed, inspecting the code in gdb/python/py-param.c shows that a string return value is required (if an exception is not thrown). While inspecting the code in gdb/python/py-param.c I noticed that the comment for the C++ code that invokes the Python get_set_string method is wrong, so I updated that too. gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-param.c (get_set_value): Update header comment. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * python.texinfo (Parameters In Python): Return empty string in small example code.
