[patch] New function finish_python_initialization

[dje at google dot com (Doug Evans)]

Hi.

While implementing some commands in python I ran into some
order-of-initialization issues.

For example, any new "info" commands implemented in python
require the "info" command prefix.

This patch fixes things by moving the evaluation of the init python script
to after most of the gdb initialization.  That way the python
script can punt on further such issues.

I thought of renaming _initialize_python and explicitly calling it
later (and thus avoid having two python init routines) but that doesn't
work (at least not without more effort).
_initialize_python has to be called before initialize_progspace
(the python code has two progspace data keys).
And the contents of the new finish_python_initialization has to
be done after the call to init_cli_cmds (so that the "info" command
prefix is there).

I will check this in in two days if there are no objections.

	* top.c: #include "python/python.h".
	(gdb_init): Add a comment regarding initialize_all_files.
	Call finish_python_initialization at the end.
	* python/python.h (finish_python_initialization): Declare.
	* python/python.c (finish_python_initialization): New function.
	(_initialize_python): Move python-implemented initialization there
	and call it.
	(GdbMethods): Use #ifdef HAVE_PYTHON for consistency.
