Support rvalue references in the gdb python module (includes doc/)

This patch adds the ability to inspect rvalue reference types and values using
the gdb python module. This is achieved by creating two wrappers for
valpy_reference_value(), using the ReferenceExplorer class to handle the
objects of rvalue reference types and placing necessary checks for a
TYPE_CODE_RVALUE_REF type code next to the checks for a TYPE_CODE_REF type
code.
