Python works with GNU DBM and with Berkley DBM.
Berkley DBM has been under Oracle for some time.
And it's not clear how many Python users actually use DBM.
In the packages feed, we have both libdb47 (which is now under Oracle) and
GNU DBM. The GNU DBM has a compatibility layer for Berkley DBM.
There are newer versions than libdb47, but it's probably not worth having
them yet. The libbd47 tarball is ~40+ MB. Odds are newer versions will be
bigger and more bloated.
This change merges the old `python3-gdbm` package into the `python3-dbm`
package, since they are effectively using the same underlying library now,
i.e. gdbm.

I admit this may be be a bit aggressive, but the lang
folder is getting cluttered/filled up with Python, PHP, Perl,
Ruby, etc. packages.
Makes sense to try to group them into per-lang folders.
I took the Pythons.
