Tom Tromey April 26, 2020, 7:49 p.m. 
Now that Python code can create TUI windows, it seemed appropriate to
allow Python commands to appear in the "TUI" help class.  This patch
adds this capability.

2020-04-25  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* NEWS: Update.
	* python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_initialize_commands): Add COMMAND_TUI.
	(cmdpy_init): Allow class_tui.

	* python.texi (Commands In Python): Document gdb.COMMAND_TUI.
