[PATCH 0/3] New mechanism to initialise Python components in GDB

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

This series is a rewrite of how we initialise Python components within
GDB.  Patch #3 is where the actual change took place.

Patches #1 and #2 relate to dependencies between different Python
components.  Currently there are two pairs of components that have an
initialisation order dependency.  The change I propose in patch #3
revealed these dependencies which I think are otherwise pretty hidden.
In patches #1 and #2 I've tweaked things so these dependencies are now
(I think) more explicit.

This is a pure refactoring project.  I've had a rough outline of patch
#3 kicking about for a while, but I recently thought I would need to
add a new Python component finalize function (similar to
gdbpy_finalize_micommands), so took the time to finish this series
off...

... then it turned out I didn't need to add a new finalize function at
all.

Personally, I think this is an improvement, so I'm posting it, but I'd
love to hear others thoughts.

Thanks,
Andrew
