Simon Marchi f2f3ccb9f8 Add $_as_string convenience function
This patch is a follow-up to "Add printf format specifier for printing
enumerator":

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00144.html

Instead of having a solution specific to the printf command, Pedro
suggested adding a general purpose function $_as_string() that would
cover this use case and more.

So, in order to print the textual label of an enum, one can use:

  (gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)
  Visiting node of type NODE_INTEGER
