debug/gdb: new option to enable/disable use of python

Add a new option to enable/disable the Python scripting in gdb.
Hide the option (ie. disable it) when statically linking the cross-gdb.

      A static cross gdb can be usefull if you debug on a machine that is
yann@1915
    31
      not the one that is used to compile the toolchain.
yann@1915
    32
      
yann@1915
    33
      That way, you can share the cross-gdb without installing a toolchain
yann@1915
    34
      on every machine that will be used to debug target programs.

      Say 'y' if you want to use Python scripting inside gdb.
yann@2703
    44
      Say 'n' if you do not want to.

yann@2703
    46
      Beware that enabling Python scripting could render the gdb
yann@2703
    47
      executable non-functional if you move it to another machine.
yann@2703
    48
      Building a static gdb can help in this regard, although there
yann@2703
    49
      have been reports of problems when linking gdb to the static
yann@2703
    50
      libpython.a. This should be fixed in gdb >=7.3. YMMV.
