[SRU][F][RFC 1/1] UBUNTU: [Packaging] Build and include GDB Python scripts into debug packages

The kernel comes with useful GDB debugging scripts/commands (enabled
with CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS), however these are built either with "all" make
target or with "scripts_gdb".  Build these in
"$(stampdir)/stamp-build-%" target and package in "install-%" under
/usr/lib/debug/share.

Work in progress, not extensively tested. I am sending to gather early
comments and hints. I will prepare proper SRU once
this looks good and is tested.
