[PATCHv3 0/3] Python API for target connections, and packet sending

[Andrew Burgess]

Since v2:

  - Added a gdb.RemoteTargetConnection sub-class, which is used for
    'remote' and 'extended-remote' connections.  The previous
    'send_remote_packet' has become 'send_packet' on this new
    sub-class.

  - Tests and documentation have been updated to reflect the above
    change.

  - In the first patch, connpy_repr has been modified in order to
    prepare it for the sub-class that will appear in the later
    patch.

Since v1:

  - Rebased onto current upstream master and resolved the merge
    conflicts.

  - Addressed the documentation feedback from Eli.  I'm not 100% sure
    that I have correctly addressed the concerns about patch #3, so
    this is probably worth rechecking.
