        Get the gdb.Value for the given field within the PyObject, coping with
        some python 2 versus python 3 differences.

        Various libpython types are defined using the "PyObject_HEAD" and
        "PyObject_VAR_HEAD" macros.

        In Python 2, this these are defined so that "ob_type" and (for a var
        object) "ob_size" are fields of the type in question.

        In Python 3, this is defined as an embedded PyVarObject type thus:
           PyVarObject ob_base;
        so that the "ob_size" field is located insize the "ob_base" field, and
        the "ob_type" is most easily accessed by casting back to a (PyObject*).
