Load system gdbinit files from a directory

Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory
in which to look for gdbinit files.  All files in this directory are
loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension
matches a known and enabled scripting language (.gdb/.py/.scm).

This also changes get_ext_lang_of_file to support ".gdb" files, similar
to get_ext_lang_defn's handling of EXT_LANG_GDB.
