Check tracefile is generated by binary execution
Commit Message
In gdb.trace/tfile.exp, we execute binary to generate tracefile,
remote_exec target "$binfile"
however, this fails on bare metal target. This patch is to
handle binary execution failure by running binary in GDB.
The binary will do some io operation to generate tracefile, so
we need a check 'target_info exists gdb,nofileio'.
This patch is to check whether tracefile is generated. tfile.exp can
be skipped if generation is failed, while test_tfind_tfile in
mi-traceframe-changed.exp is skipped if generated failed. The rest of
the mi-traceframe-changed.exp can still be executed, because on some
bare metal targets, the remote stub may support tracepoint but doesn't
support fileio.
This patch is tested on nios2-elf and arm-none-eabi.

* lib/trace-support.exp (generate_tracefile): New procedure.
* gdb.trace/tfile.exp: Skip the test if generate_tracefile
return 0.
* gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: Invoke test_tfind_tfile
if generate_tracefile returns 1.

This is OK to push, thanks!
OK, one nit:

"trace file" instead of "tfile" would be clearer to a test-running
person who is not familiar with the details of tracepoint operations.

OK, fixed. Patch is pushed in.
