[PATCH v3] scripts/gdb: fix lx-dmesg when CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set

[Joel Colledge <joel.colledge@linbit.com>]

When CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set, struct printk_log contains an
additional member caller_id. This affects the offset of the log text.
Account for this by using the type information from gdb to determine all
the offsets instead of using hardcoded values.

This fixes following error:

  (gdb) lx-dmesg
  Python Exception <class 'ValueError'> embedded null character:
  Error occurred in Python command: embedded null character

The read_u* utility functions now take an offset argument to make them
easier to use.

Changes in v3:
- fix some overlong lines and generally make the code more readable by
  pushing the slicing down into the read_u* helper functions

In general, I would consider slicing to be more "pythonic" than passing
around offsets. However, in this case we always want to slice with
(offset, length), rather than (start, end), so the normal slicing syntax
is not very helpful. Rather than writing [a:a+b] everywhere I just
decided to pass the whole buffer and an offset to the read_u* helpers.
