scripts/gdb: add mm introspection utils

This command provides a way to traverse the entire page hierarchy by a
given virtual address on x86.  In addition to qemu's commands info
tlb/info mem it provides the complete information about the paging
structure for an arbitrary virtual address.  It supports 4KB/2MB/1GB and 5
level paging.

Here is an example output for 2MB success translation:
