[PATCH] [python] Add gdb.value_history_count()


An example use cause is trying to log related data with a pretty-printer.  For
example, save a file with the same name as the current history number.

This patch revision contains fixes suggested by Phil Muldoon.  And actually
strip the 'gdb/' path prefix in the ChangeLog this time.
