Tom Tromey 50315b2177 Add gdb_ref_ptr.h
This adds a new gdb_ref_ptr.h, that implements a reference-counting
smart pointer class, where the user of the class supplies a
reference-counting policy object.

This class will be used in the next patch, which changes most explicit
BFD reference counts to use this new type.  Meanwhile, this patch
changes gdbpy_ref to be a specialization of this new class.

This change required adding new nullptr_t overloads some operators in
gdb_ref_ptr.h.  I suspect this was needed because some Python header
redefines NULL, but I'm not certain.

	* common/gdb_ref_ptr.h: New file.
	* python/py-ref.h (struct gdbpy_ref_policy): New.
	(gdbpy_ref): Now a typedef.
