Re: [RFA] [1/2] auto-loading scripts from .debug_gdb_scripts section

[Doug Evans <dje at google dot com>]

I've applied the requested doc changes, except that Auto-loading is
still moved up one level, moved from node Python API to node Python.

I'm going to defer fixing DOS path support to a separate patch.  This
is a bug in the existing code (all this patch does is move said code
from one file to another), and I don't want to overload this patch.

If there are no objections I will check this in tomorrow.
