[PATCH v3 3/5] Create MI commands using python.

[Jan Vrany <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>]

From: Didier Nadeau <didier.nadeau@gmail.com>

This commit allows an user to create custom MI commands using Python
similarly to what is possible for Python CLI commands.

A new subclass of mi_command is defined for Python MI commands,
mi_command_py. A new file, py-micmd.c contains the logic for Python
MI commands.
