I found out something scary after posting this: if gdb crashes during
exit, the entire test suite will pass.

This patch fixes the bug and also doesn't SEGV.

I'm looking into writing a test case for a clean exit.

	* NEWS: Update.
	* python/python.c (finalize_python): New function.
	(_initialize_python): Make a final cleanup.

	* gdb.python/python.exp: Test atexit.register.
