python tapset

[Stan Cox <scox at redhat dot com>]

This is a first cut at a tapset that enables probing python applications.
 python_backtrace - get backtraces for the running python application
 python_get_variable [VARIABLE] - get value of a running python
        application variable.  VARIABLE can be a variable wildcard,
        aotherwise defaults to *

# python-backtrace example
stap -I tapset -g -c '/usr/local/bin/python ./celsius.py 30' celsius-bt.stp
#0 celsius_to_farenheit (celsius:int ) at ./celsius.py:7
#1 main  at ./celsius.py:19
#2 <module>  at ./celsius.py:3
...
