Fix makeinfo warnings in gdb.texinfo and python.texi docs

Browse source 
Building gdb-9.1 on a system that has an older version of makeinfo
(4.8) shows the following warnings:

-----------------

These are thrown by expressions like `@var{[host]}`, intended to
produce `[HOST]`.

In that context this should instead be changed to `[@var{host}]`, which
has the same effect but without the warnings.

As for the warning in `python.texi`, there's period missing at the end
of one `@xref{}` clause.  Added.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

2020-04-15  Artur Shepilko  <nomadbyte@gmail.com>

	* gdb.texinfo: Transform @var{[host]} to [@var{host}]; this
	clears makeinfo warnings.
	* python.texi: Add a missing period trailing an @xref{} clause;
	this clears a makeinfo warning.
