[PATCH 3/3] gdb/python: drop support for Python < 3.4

[Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>]

Python 3 versions <= 3.3 are quite old and not likely to be used
nowadays.  Dropping support for them allows us to remove some hacks and
compatibility macros that depend on the Python version being < 3.4.

Change the documentation to state the Python 3 versions we support.

We could go even further and document that we only support versions 3.5
or 3.6 and up, for example, but that wouldn't change the code.  So we
might as well document the older Python 3 version we can support without
special hacks.
