[Bug python/11688] New: wrap MI commands in python

[tromey at redhat dot com]

It would be nice to automate full access to gdb internals via MI.

The idea would be, expose all MI commands in a new module, gdb.mi.
(Or perhaps versioned: gdb.mi2, gdb.mi3, ...)

The wrapper would turn python-style arguments into what the MI commands expect.

We'd make a new ui_out object that knows how to create Python objects.
The wrapper function would return the python object created when the MI command
is invoked.

For documentation we could simply refer to the MI docs, with some explanation
of how the translations are done.
