debug/gdb: install gdbinit sample file

gdb needs to know where to find the libstdc++ helper python script
to do, well, whatever it has to do with it...

We can't install that in the user's ~/.gdbinit, it's too complex to
handle all the cases. Moreover, if the user is using more than one
toolchain, we can't put all that stuff in there...

Just provide a sample config file the user can adapt to his/her
own needs.

Thanks go to Khem RAJ for providing such a hint:

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
