Python limited API: migrate Py_CompileStringExFlags and PyRun_SimpleString

This patch replaces Py_CompileStringExFlags () with its limited C API
equivalent, Py_CompileString (). The eval_python_command () helper is
now exposed through the private GDB Python API as a utility function.
PyRun_SimpleString () is replaced with eval_python_command () to avoid
code duplication.
