Hannes Domani 2e08907d06 Allow calling of C++ methods from python
Currently it's not possible to call C++ methods from python.
Using this example:
```
class B
{
  static int static_func ();
  int arg0_func ();
  int arg1_func (int arg1);
  int arg2_func (int arg1, int arg2);
};

B *b_obj = new B;
```

Trying to call B::static_func gives this error:
```
(gdb) py b_obj = gdb.parse_and_eval('b_obj')
(gdb) py print(b_obj['static_func']())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Value is not callable (not TYPE_CODE_FUNC).
Error while executing Python code.
```

TYPE_CODE_METHOD was simply missing as a possible type in
valpy_call, now the same is possible:
```
(gdb) py b_obj = gdb.parse_and_eval('b_obj')
(gdb) py print(b_obj['static_func']())
1111
```

Note that it's necessary to explicitely add the this pointer
as the first argument in a call of non-static methods:
```
(gdb) py print(b_obj['arg0_func']())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
gdb.error: Too few arguments in function call.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb) py print(b_obj['arg0_func'](b_obj))
198
```
