[Bug python/10705] python traceback on bad string character decoding

["tromey at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Phil looked at changing struct value, but the val_print code makes
it too big.  We should probably get rid of val_print in favor of
value_print everywhere, but ...

Another approach to this problem would be to make a new Value.lazy_string
method.  This would return a Python object holding a pointer, type,
optional length, and optional encoding.  Then, change the code in
py-prettyprint.c to recognize these objects and print them via the
language string-printing function.  This would solve the immediate problems.
A new method may not be needed, if the new object can be made to look
sufficiently string-like to Python.
