Allow conversion of pointers to Python int

PR python/18170 questions why it's not possible to convert a pointer
value to a Python int.

Digging a bit shows that the Python 2.7 int() constructor will happily
return a long in some cases.  And, it seems gdb already understands
this in other places -- this is what gdb_py_object_from_longest
handles.

So, this patch simply extends valpy_int to allow pointer conversions,
as valpy_long does.
