[PATCH] Fix issue with dmesg.py and python 3.X

From: Dom Cote
Date: Tue Apr 05 2016 - 22:38:42 EST


When using GDB built with python 2.7,

Inferior.read_memory (address, length)

returns a buffer object. When using GDB built with python 3.X,
it returns a memoryview object, which cannot be added to another
memoryview object.

Replace the addition (+) of 2 python memoryview objects
with the addition of 2 'bytes' objects.

Create a read_memoryview() function that always return a memoryview
object.

Change the read_u16 function so it doesn't need to use ord()
anymore.

Tested with Python 3.4 and gdb 7.7
