  From: Felix Willgerodt <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>

Auxiliary instructions are no real instructions and get their own object
class, similar to gaps. gdb.Record.instruction_history is now possibly a
list of gdb.RecordInstruction, gdb.RecordGap or gdb.RecordAuxiliary
objects.

This patch is in preparation for the new ptwrite feature, which is based on
auxiliary instructions.

gdb/ChangeLog:
	* py-record-btrace.c (btpy_insn_or_gap_new): Removed.
	(btpy_item_new): New function.
	(btpy_list_item): Call btpy_item_new instead of recpy_insn_new.
	(recpy_bt_replay_position): Call btpy_item_new instead of
	btpy_insn_or_gap_new.
	(recpy_bt_begin): Call btpy_item_new instead of btpy_insn_or_gap_new.
	(recpy_bt_end): Call btpy_item_new instead of btpy_insn_or_gap_new.
	* py-record.c (recpy_aux_type): New static object.
	(recpy_aux_object): New typedef.
	(recpy_aux_new, recpy_aux_number, recpy_aux_data): New function.

OK for this part, thanks.

Looks good to me but I can't approve it.

This must be true because we checked btrace_insn_get_error () before.  To make it
more obvious, we could rewrite the function to call btrace_insn_get () first and check
the returned btrace_insn pointer.  There's no need to check the error code, I think.
In the worst case, we'll end up with a gap that says 'success'.

Isn't this code just creating list item objects?

Thanks,
Markus.
