Allow python to find its files if moved from original location.
* acinclude.m4 (GDB_AC_DEFINE_RELOCATABLE): New function. (GDB_AC_WITH_DIR): Call it. * configure.ac: Define WITH_PYTHON_PATH if we can find the python installation directory. * config.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. * defs.h (python_libdir): Declare. * main.c (python_libdir): Define. (captured_main): Initialize python_libdir. * python/python.c (_initialize_python): #ifdef WITH_PYTHON_PATH, call Py_SetProgramName to make sure python can find its libraries and modules.
