[PATCH] [gdb/docs] use a clearer example for gdb lexing

[k4lizen]

The old one raised a SyntaxWarning, and this one
allows the reader to focus on the GDB lexing
without having to think about what python is
doing.

Thanks.  Is the new variant you suggest supported by all the versions
of Python we currently support?

Also, I think this should be reviewed by someone who knows Python
better than I do (which is close to nothing), because this is not just
a documentation issue.

The patch is okay Texinfo-wise.
