Summary: make python-mode play nice with gdb

Initial Comment:
if you run gdb (and presumably other debuggers) while
python-mode is loaded, the little arrow it uses to 
indicate the current position in the source code fails
to appear.  this is because the comint hook
py-pdbtrack-track-stack-file wipes it out regardless of
whether the current buffer process comes from python.

This patch doesn't work for a use case that I've found to be
very common, namely adding "import pdb ; pdb.set_trace()" in
the code where you want to start tracing, and then just
running the program from the shell buffer.

Ken turned me on to this idiom and it's really powerful. 
The test for process-command matching exactly
py-python-command or py-jpython-command breaks this.

I'm not sure patch 567468 is much better, but for different
reasons.
