gdb: make_scoped_restore and types convertible to T

A following patch will want to do

   string_file str_file;

   scoped_restore save_stdout
    = make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);

where gdb_stdout is a ui_file *, and string_file is a type that
inherits from ui_file, but that doesn't compile today:

  src/gdb/top.c: In function ‘std::__cxx11::string execute_command_to_string(char*, int)’:
  src/gdb/top.c:710:50: error: no matching function for call to ‘make_scoped_restore(ui_file**, string_file*)’
       = make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);
						    ^
  [...]

   scoped_restore_tmpl<T> make_scoped_restore (T *var, T value)

       = make_scoped_restore (&gdb_stdout, &str_file);
						    ^

This commit makes code such as the above possible.
