Hold the GIL while clearing gdbpy_reggroup_object_map
Tom de Vries pointed out that a certain Python test left a core file. Looking into this, I think the problem is that the GIL is not held when gdbpy_reggroup_object_map is destroyed. This patch changes the code to explicitly clear the global while holding the GIL. This fixed the crash for me. This also adds a comment to gdbpy_initialize_file to explicitly mention that the GIL is held while the finalizers are run.
