For the default gdb_datadir, I am of two minds on this. It's really
easy to adjust as desired at configure time, and I think that multiple
GDB installs made at the same location should be compatible, and
thus should be able to share their Python/XML files. But as previously
said, it's not a strong opinion.
For GDB's info page, I think we should indeed apply the transformation,
to be consistent.
