gdb-pretty-print broken since m_data added

[blackworm27]

Description

The pretty printer Python script for gdb, located at tools/gdb_pretty_printer/nlohmann-json.py, is broken since the addition of the m_data member in the json object. SOLUTION: The solution is to first dereference 'm_data' before dereferencing 'm_type' or 'm_value' in the three places they occur in the nlohmann-json.py script. A corrected script (renamed to .txt) nlohmann-json.py.txt is attached to this bug.

Reproduction steps

Following the README.md in tools/gdb_pretty_printer/README.md does not work as described. gdb reports 'Cannot instantiate printer for default visualiser' and the console says Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member or method named m_type. This is a regression from 3.11.2, where it does work.

Expected vs. actual results

Expected printing of json objects in gdb to work. Instead, an error message is given.

Minimal code example

nlohmann::json a;
// Attempting to pretty-print this object in gdb fails in nlohmann-json 3.11.3

Error messages
