Joel Brobecker c0d4881122 [python] Add gdb.Type.name attribute.
Consider the following declarations:

    typedef long our_time_t;
    our_time_t current_time = 1384395743;

The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer
for variables of type our_time_t.  Normally, pretty-printing sniffers
use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer
should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since
it does not apply to integral types.

This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include
the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against
that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer
which displays our variable as follow:

    (gdb) print current_time
    $1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * python/py-type.c (typy_get_name): New function.
        (type_object_getset): Add entry for attribute "name".
        * NEWS: Add entry mentioning this new attribute.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.texinfo (Types In Python): Document new attribute Types.name.

gdb/testsuite:

        * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.c: New file.
        * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.py: New file.
        * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.exp: New file.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
