From: Felix Willgerodt <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>

Adding a new function to btinfo that allows to call the python ptwrite listener
from inside GDB.

2019-05-29  Felix Willgerodt  <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>

gdb/ChangeLog:
	* btrace.h (btrace_thread_info): New member ptw_callback_fun.
	* python/py-record-btrace.c (recpy_call_listener): New function.
	(recpy_initialize_listener): Save recpy_call_listener in btinfo.
