gdb/python: allow Value.format_string to return styled output
Add a new argument to the gdb.Value.format_string method, 'styling'. This argument is False by default. When this argument is True, then the returned string can contain output styling escape sequences. When this argument is False, then the returned string will not contain any styling escape sequences. If the returned string is going to be printed to the user, then it is often nice to retain the GDB styling. For the testing, we need to adjust the TERM environment variable, as we do for all the styling tests. I'm now running all of the C tests in gdb.python/py-format-string.exp in an environment where styling could be generated, but only my new test should actually produce styled output, hopefully this will catch the case where a bug might cause format_string to always produce styled output.
