gdb: startup commands to control Python extension language

Add two new commands to GDB that can be placed into the early
initialization to control how Python starts up.  The new options are:

  set python ignore-environment on|off
  set python dont-write-bytecode auto|on|off

  show python ignore-environment
  show python dont-write-bytecode

These can be used from GDB's startup file to control how the Python
extension language behaves.  These options are equivalent to the -E
and -B flags to python respectively, their descriptions from the
Python man page:

  -E     Ignore environment variables like PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME
         that modify the  behavior  of  the  interpreter.

  -B     Don't write .pyc files on import.
