[python] source -p


This adds the -p option to 'source' and also makes .py files

	* python/python.c (source_python_script): New function.
	* python/python.h (source_python_script): Declare.
	* cli/cli-cmds.c (find_argument): New function.
	(source_command): Always run cleanup.  Use find_argument.  Handle
	-p argument.  Use make_cleanup_restore_integer.
	(source_verbose_cleanup): Remove.
	(source_python): New global.
	Include python.h.
	(init_cli_cmds): Update.
