Now that the oldest supported version of gdb is 7.11.1 we can make some
parts of the build unconditional and remove the associated config vars.

Check for python2/python3 and if found, pass them to --with-python.
Allow user to override the choice via a new config option. This
fixes systems where there is no "python", only "python2" or "python3".

Also, do not select gdbserver for cross-gdb automatically, or it may
be selected even without meeting the dependencies (if C++ is not enabled)

It's been some time now we've had those features, so unmark them
being experimental.
It does not mean everything is perfect, but may gather some more
testing of those features.

Currently, we check host feature in ./configure. This works only for
cross toolchains, but not for canadian toolchains. ./configure has
absolutely no way to know what the host for the toolchain will be;
only the build scripts know.
So, move the headers & libraries checks from ./configure to the build
scripts, early enough in the build, but not before we know the host
compiler and other tools.

Add a new option to enable/disable the Python scripting in gdb.
Hide the option (ie. disable it) when statically linking the cross-gdb.

Static liunking is not supported on Darwin, so hide the corresponding

Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will
build successfully, but lacking some features.
Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target
description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB
warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
Hence, expat should be considered mandatory.
On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so
python should not be considered mandatory.
This patch does the following:
- At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing.
- In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no
static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is
missing.

Although the gdb ./configure advertises for GMP and MPFR, those libraries
are not used by gdb (the ./configure is used across different packages,
hence the check for GMP/MPFR). See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00168.html
The same applies to MPC.

Insight seems to be very slow to follow up on mainstreram gdb.
Latest snapshots are more than 6 months old.
Moreover, I don't have time to maintain insight support in crosstool-NG;
and, because I don't use it, I am unable to find any breakage.
