Remove some ui_out-related cleanups from Python

This patch introduces a bit of infrastructure -- namely, a minimal std::optional analogue called gdb::optional, and an RAII template class that works like make_cleanup_ui_out_tuple_begin_end or make_cleanup_ui_out_list_begin_end -- and then uses these in the Python code. This removes a number of cleanups and generally simplifies this code. std::optional is only available in C++17. Normally I would have had this code check __cplusplus, but my gcc apparently isn't new enough to find <optional>, even with -std=c++1z; so, because I could not test it, the patch does not do this. gdb/ChangeLog 2017-02-10 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * ui-out.h (ui_out_emit_type): New class. (ui_out_emit_tuple, ui_out_emit_list): New typedefs. * python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_single_arg): Use gdb::optional and ui_out_emit_tuple. (enumerate_locals): Likewise. (py_mi_print_variables, py_print_locals, py_print_args): Use ui_out_emit_list. (py_print_frame): Use gdb::optional, ui_out_emit_tuple, ui_out_emit_list. * common/gdb_optional.h: New file.
