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:

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
