add Python wrapper using SWIG

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've got a functional Python wrapper generated using SWIG.  This would let
clients use the processor functionality without requiring them to write C++
or rely on minidump_stackwalk.  I'll post some files in a bit, and then
figure out how to integrate this into the source tree.  This first
attachment is a sample re-implementation of most of minidump_stackwalk in
Python.

First cut at a patch.  I haven't actually tried loading the output of this as a
Python module, because libtool is a pain, and I don't have it installing to the 
right
directory yet, but it builds successfully.  I should probably check in the 
Python/C++
wrapper files that SWIG generates, since it's more likely that people will have
Python installed and want the bindings than it is that they'll have SWIG 
installed.

Remove unnecessary variables from Makefile.am, they automatically get inserted 
since
they get AC_SUBST'ed.

This doesn't seem to be in the current version.  How much work would it take to 
get it working again?

Probably not a huge undertaking. Working with SWIG was a bit frustrating due to 
its C++ support being fiddly.
