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);
^

This commit makes code such as the above possible.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-01-31 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/scoped_restore.h
(scoped_restore_tmpl::scoped_restore_tmpl): Template on T2, and
change the value's parameter type to T2.
(make_scoped_restore): Likewise.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch replaces many (but not all) uses of
make_cleanup_restore_integer with a simple RAII-based template class.
It also removes the similar restore_execution_direction cleanup in
favor of this new class. Subsequent patches will replace other
similar cleanups with this class.
The class is typically instantiated using make_scoped_restore. This
allows for template argument deduction.
