file in the checkout to their .gdbinit file, add it automatically when
invoking gdb in the test.

The gdb hooks for debugging CPython (within Tools/gdb) have
been enhanced to show information on more C frames relevant to CPython within
the "py-bt" and "py-bt-full" commands:
* C frames that are waiting on the GIL
* C frames that are garbage-collecting
* C frames that are due to the invocation of a PyCFunction
in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated.
The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.
traceback if Python is optimized.
* delay the lookup of the size_t type, it is not available at startup
* The second argument of the PyFrameObjectPtr constructor is optional, as
done in other constructors
* iter_builtins() and iter_globals() methods of PyFrameObjectPtr returns
an empty tuple instead of None if Python is optimized
* Fix py-bt and py-bt-full to handle correctly "optimized" frames
* Frame.get_pyop() tries to get the frame pointer from PyEval_EvalCodeEx()
if the pointer is optimized out in PyEval_EvalFrameEx()

* Escape non printable characters (use locale.getpreferredencoding())
* Fix support of surrogate pairs
* test_gdb.py: use ascii() instead of repr() in gdb program arguments to avoid
encoding issues
* Fix test_strings() of test_gdb.py for encoding different than UTF-8

Ensure that the gdb hooks can be installed when
srcdir != builddir.
Without this patch it is no longer possible to
build python when you don't run configure from
the root of the source tree.
