anjiahao adc5c8b5ac Debug:support python script auto debug nuttx kernel
This patch add an example and pyhton base modules:
1.add memdump.py is an example to analyze memory
usage by python script.
2.add The most basic data structure analysis, like list, etc.

future ideas:
Maybe we can add modules related to "sched, drivers, arch, fs.." to
automatically analyze scripts to debug some problems
