Subject: [PATCH] glib: fix installing gdb scripts

the disk space cost is less than 20Kb

They provide pretty printers for datascructures likes hash tables in
gdb.

To check that the scripts are loaded:
run gdb on any glib application (for example gio from the bin output)
run info auto-load python-scripts
observe scripts whose filename is libglib-...-gdb.py
