Add gdb.Architecture.integer_type Python function
This adds a new Python function, gdb.Architecture.integer_type, which can be used to look up an integer type of a given size and signed-ness. This is useful to avoid dependency on debuginfo when a particular integer type would be useful. v2 moves this to be a method on gdb.Architecture and addresses other review comments.

|

This function looks up an integer type by its @var{size}, and
|
||||
optionally whether or not it is signed.
|
||||
|
||||
@var{size} is the size, in bits, of the desired integer type. Only
|
||||
certain sizes are currently supported: 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 64, and 128.
|
||||
|
||||
If @var{signed} is not specified, it defaults to @code{True}. If
|
||||
@var{signed} is @code{False}, the returned type will be unsigned.
|
||||
|
||||
If the indicated type cannot be found, this function will throw a
|
||||
@code{ValueError} exception.
