The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print
successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes
for each line with a b'<text>' marker.
To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default
to 'UTF-8'

When built against Python 3, GDB differs in the return type for its
read_memory function, causing the lx-dmesg command to fail.
Now that we have an improved read_16() we can use the new
read_memoryview() abstraction to make lx-dmesg return valid data on both
current Python APIs
Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.
I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).
Main issues that needed to be resolved:
* In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
__next__() instead (so let's just add both).
* In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
where it was converting the object to str first and then
calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
we need to keep this behavior.
* In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.
This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

This pokes into the log buffer of the debugged kernel, dumping it to the
gdb console. Helping in case the target should or can no longer execute
dmesg itself.
