We've seen a few reports of

UINTPTR_T = gdb.lookup_type("uintptr_t")
gdb.error: No type named uintptr_t.
This occurs when symbols haven't been loaded first, i.e. neither a
QEMU binary was loaded nor a QEMU process was attached first. Let's
better inform the user of how to fix the issue themselves in order
to avoid more reports.

Python GDB support may use Python 2 or 3.
Inferior.read_memory() may return a 'buffer' with Python 2 or a
'memoryview' with Python 3 (see also
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Inferiors-In-Python.html)
The elf.add_vmcoreinfo_note() method expects a "bytes" object. Wrap
the returned memory with bytes(), which works with both 'memoryview'
and 'buffer'.
Fixes a regression introduced with commit
d23bfa91b7 ("add vmcoreinfo").

When qemu is compiled without debug, the dump gdb python script can fail with:
Error occurred in Python command: No symbol "vmcoreinfo_find" in current context.
Because vmcoreinfo_find() is inlined and not exported.
Use the underlying object_resolve_path_type() to get the instance instead.

Let users of qemu_get_ram_ptr and qemu_ram_ptr_length pass in an
address that is relative to the MemoryRegion. This basically means
what address_space_translate returns.
Because the semantics of the second parameter change, rename the

This commit does not make the script python 3 compatible, it is a
preparation that fixes the easy and common incompatibilities.
Print is a function in python 3 and therefore needs braces around its
arguments.
Range does not cast a gdb.Value object to int in python 3, we have to
do it ourselves.

The functions dealing with qemu components rarely used parts of the
class, so they were moved out of the class.
As the uintptr_t variable is needed both within and outside the class,
it was made a constant and moved to the top.
