[gdb/python] Add typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod

In gdb/python/py-tui.c we have code like this:
...
      gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get(), "hscroll",
                                              "i", num_to_scroll, nullptr));
...

The nullptr is superfluous, the format string already indicates that there's
only one method argument.

OTOH, passing no method args does use a nullptr:
...
      gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get (), "render",
                                               nullptr));
...

Furthermore, choosing the right format string chars can be tricky.

Add a typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod that hides these
details, such that we can use the more intuitive:
...
      gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get(), "hscroll",
                                             num_to_scroll));
...
and:
...
      gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get (), "render"));
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.
