configs: Add --wait-gdb as option to se.py

I switch between waiting and non-waiting scenario many times per day.
The BaseCPU.wait_for_remote_gdb attribute, introduced in c2baaab0ed,
makes it much less painful by saving many recompiles.
The present commit tries to go a bit further: the se.py script is
under version control, and changing it interferes with smooth git
workflow.
