C++ify xmethod_worker, get rid of VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr)
The initial goal of this patch was to remove the usage of VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr) and corresponding cleanups. I ended up having to C++ify the xmethod_worker code, to be able to have xmethod_workers free their data in destructors, and therefore be able to use vectors of xmethod_worker unique_ptr. The operations in extension_language_ops that act on one instance of xmethod_worker (get result type, get args type, invoke) are transformed to methods of xmethod_worker. xmethod_worker becomes an abstract base class with virtual pure methods which python_xmethod_worker implements. The only xmethod-related operation left in extension_language_ops is get_matching_xmethod_workers, which returns a list of xmethod_workers. The changes are relatively straightforward, but here are some notes on things that may raise eyebrows: - I was not really comfortable with the value_of_xmethod function. At first it looks like a simple getter, so I considered making it a method of xmethod_worker. But actually it creates a value and transfers the ownership of the xmethod_worker to it. It would be a bit weird and error-prone if calling a method on an object silently removed the ownership of the object from the caller. To reflect the behavior more accurately, I renamed it to value_from_xmethod and made it accept an rvalue-reference (so the caller knows it gives away the ownership). I noticed the backlink from xmethod_worker to its owning value was not used, so I removed it. - Some code, like get_matching_xmethod_workers, made each callee fill a new vector, which was then merged in the result vector. I think it's safe if we always pass the same vector around, and each implementation just appends to it. - The clone operation does not seem particularly useful, it is removed in the following patch. gdb/ChangeLog: * extension-priv.h (enum ext_lang_rc): Remove, move to extension.h.
