The gdb.Type.name attribute was only added in GDB 7.7, so several
printer tests fail on older GDB versions. Since all we need is to
strip cv-qualifiers we can use gdb.Type.unqualified() for that.

* python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py (find_type): Avoid gdb.Type.name
for GDB 7.6 compatibility, use gdb.Type.unqualified instead.
Tested powerpc64le-linux (CentOS 7.3) and committed to trunk.
