gdb: change functions returning value contents to use gdb::array_view

The bug fixed by this [1] patch was caused by an out-of-bounds access to
a value's content.  The code gets the value's content (just a pointer)
and then indexes it with a non-sensical index.

This made me think of changing functions that return value contents to
return array_views instead of a plain pointer.  This has the advantage
that when GDB is built with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, accesses to the array_view
are checked, making bugs more apparent / easier to find.

This patch changes the return types of these functions, and updates
callers to call .data() on the result, meaning it's not changing
anything in practice.  Additional work will be needed (which can be done
little by little) to make callers propagate the use of array_view and
reap the benefits.
