    Fix unstable test names in gdb.python/py-objfile.exp
    
    Currently, if you diff testsuite/gdb.sum of different builds you see
    this spurious hunk:
    
      -PASS: gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: get python valueof "sep_objfile.build_id" (6a0bfcab663f9810ccff33c756afdebb940037d4)
      +PASS: gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: get python valueof "sep_objfile.build_id" (1f5531c657c57777b05fc95baa0025fd1d115c3b)
    
    Fix this by syncing get_python_valueof with get_integer_valueof, which
    stopped outputting the value in commit 2f20e312aad6
    ("get_integer_valueof: Don't output value in test name").
    
    After this commit we'll show:
    
      PASS: gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: get python valueof "sep_objfile.build_id"
    
    As the comment explicitly says get_python_valueof is modeled on
    get_integer_valueof, I went ahead and also added the optional 'test'
    parameter while at it.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    2017-10-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
    
    	* lib/gdb-python.exp (get_python_valueof): Add 'test' optional
    	parameter and handle it.  Don't output read value in test name.
