[3/7] gdb/testsuite: small refactor in selftest-support.exp
Checks
Commit Message
Split out the code that makes a copy of the GDB executable ready for
self testing into a new proc. A later commit in this series wants to
load the GDB executable into GDB (for creating an on-disk debug
index), but doesn't need to make use of the full do_self_tests proc.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.
