    gdb/python: flatten functions calling PyObject_New and use gdbpy_ref
    
    This patch aims at systematically using gdbpy_ref<> at all call sites
    of PyObject_New(). This prepares for future patches that expect
    gdbby_ref<> parameters and affect return handling.
    As part of this change, flattening the affected functions so that the
    return logic becomes clearer and more flexible to adjust.
