[PATCH] Add gdb.current_arch() function to python module -- equivalent of guile (current-arch)

[Matthew Malcomson]

The problem is that without this patch I can't get an Architecture 
object without first having a Frame object, and I can't get a Frame 
object without starting my target program.

Adding a gdb.current_arch() function is in order to get the Architecture 
object I need without starting the target program.
