Marco Barisione 52093e1b93 Add gdb.Value.format_string ()
The str () function, called on a gdb.Value instance, produces a string
representation similar to what can be achieved with the print command,
but it doesn't allow to specify additional formatting settings, for
instance disabling pretty printers.

This patch introduces a new format_string () method to gdb.Value which
allows specifying more formatting options, thus giving access to more
features provided by the internal C function common_val_print ().
