Fix cygdb (GH-3542)

* Cython debugger documentation: Added link to an installation script.
* Got a new libpython.py from the cpython source distribution.
* Default language level in tests is now 3 instead of 2
* Migrated codefile from python 2 to python 3.
* Added testcase for the cy list command in cygdb.
* Temporarily removing test case that freezes gdb.
* Fixed a bug that broke several Cygdb tests.

The cython_debug/cython_debug_info_* files map the names of the C-functions generated by the Cython compiler to the names of the functions in the *.pyx source. If the function was defined using "def" (and not "cpdef" or "cdef") in the *.pyx source file, the C-function named in cython_debug/cython_debug_info_* used to be __pyx_pw_*, which is the name of the wrapper function and now it is __pyx_f_*, which is the name of the actual function. This makes some Cygdb tests pass that did not pass before.

* Better error messages: If a cygdb command raises, a traceback will be printed.
* Fixed a bug in cygdb.

The following now works:
1. Start cygdb
2. Type "cy exec" and hit enter
3. Type some other lines
4. Type "end" and hit enter.
-> These "other lines" will get executed

* Fixed a bug in cygdb: cy list now works outside of functions.
* Added print_hr_allmarkers function for easier debugging.
* Fixed a bug that broke cygdb:

cy break did not work if you put the breakpoint outside of a function if there was e.g. the following somewhere in your *.pyx file:
cdef class SomeClass():
    pass

* Added a Cygdb test for printing global variables.
* Fixing cygdb: Replaced cy print with a simple, working solution.
* If an exception in Cygdb occurs, a stacktrace will be printed.
* Fixed a bug that broke cy break -p
* Bugfix: The compiler now writes out correctly which cython linenumber and path corresponds to which c linenumber.
* Set language_level=2 in runtests.py
