[PATCH 2/7] py-value: properly handle unsigned and pointer types

[jeffm@suse.com]

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

GDB passes signed long values into python whether they're signed or
not.  This results in a situation where the caller needs to convert
it back to an unsigned value, which requires knowledge of the underlying
size of the value.  The information to do that is available in the API,
but it's unnecessary.  We know it's an unsigned value so pass it as
an unsigned value.
