This patch is very similar to ones that I have previously contributed for
-var-list-children and -stack-list-locals. Testcases to follow
(assuming the patch is favourably received).

Purpose:
Currently the MI command "-var-update" gives the names of the variable objects
but not their value which must be accessed individually (using the MI command
-var-evaluate-expression). This means that a front end can take too long
processing a separate MI command for variable object. This patch adapts
"-var-update" so that it gives values, if required. The existing behaviour is
preserved for backward compatibility.
