Add support for Python 3.
* NEWS: Mention Python 3 support. * varobj.c (value_get_print_value): Use python_string_to_target_string. * python/py-block.c: Use PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT in initialization of type objects. * python/py-breakpoint.c: Ditto. * python/py-cmd.c: Ditto. * python/py-event.c: Ditto. * python/py-event.h: Ditto. * python/py-evtregistry.c: Ditto. * python/py-finishbreakpoint.c: Ditto. * python/py-frame.c: Ditto. * python/py-function.c: Ditto. * python/py-infthread.c: Ditto. * python/py-lazy-string.c: Ditto. * python/py-progspace.c: Ditto. * /python/py-symbol.c: Ditto. * python/py-evts.c: (gdbpy_initialize_py_events): Add module initialization for Python 3. * python/py-inferior.c: Use PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT in initialization of type objects. (infpy_read_memory): Return memoryview object if Python 3. (infpy_write_memory): Use "s*" operand parsing code for Python 3. (infpy_search_memory): Ditto.

(auto_load_packages): Adjust syntax for Python 3 compatibility. * python/lib/gdb/printing.py: Define basestr and int if Python 3. * python/lib/gdb/prompt.py: Use sorted() function rather than sort() method. * python/lib/gdb/command/explore.py: Define raw_input if Python 3. Adjust syntax for Python 3 compatibility. * python/lib/gdb/command/pretty_printers.py: Use sorted() function rather than sort() method. Adjust syntax for Python 3 compatibility. * python/lib/gdb/command/type_printers.py: Ditto. * doc/gdb.texinfo (Inferior.read_memory): Mention that the return value is a memoryview object if Python 3.
