    [Python] Add methods reference_value and const_value to gdb.Value.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* NEWS (Python Scripting): Mention the new gdb.Value methods.
    	* python/py-value.c (valpy_reference_value): New function.
    	(valpy_const_value): Likewise.
    	(value_object_methods): Add new methods.
    	* value.c (make_cv_value): New function.
    	* value.h (make_cv_value): Declare.
    
    gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
    
    	* python.texi (Values From Inferior): Add descriptions of new
    	methods gdb.Value.reference_value and gdb.Value.const_value.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.python/py-xmethods.cc: Enhance test case.
    	* gdb.python/py-xmethods.exp: New tests.
    	* gdb.python/py-xmethods.py (A_indexoper): New xmethod worker
    	function.
    	(B_indexoper): Likewise.
    	(global_dm_list) : Add new xmethod worker functions.
