[2/2] Test GDB connection to GDBserver with no symbol files

  This test exercises the scenario where we attempt to connect GDB to GDBserver
in standard remote mode, query the symbol file path, attempt to open said
symbol file on GDB's end and fail, causing the connection to drop abruptly.

I wish i could make all the other PASSes go away and only keep the last test,
as that is the most important one.  As it is, we get full passes for a patched
GDB and 3 PASS/1 FAIL for an unpatched GDB.

Regression-tested on x86-64/Ubuntu.

You can pass an empty string as test message to gdb_test, etc. to suppress it,
but I don't like doing that, because then if one of those setup steps fails,
it fails silently.  I think that if we want to make that work nicely, it
should be based on scoping the setup steps with something similar to
with_test_prefix:

setup_tests_scope {
   gdb_test_no_output "set sysroot" "clear sysroot"
   ...
}

gdb_test ... "real test"

Tests run within setup_tests_scope scope would pass silently, but fail
loudly.

I think this should be "connect", not "attach".

Seems like this won't work with remote-host testing?

It's more usual for test messages to start with lower case.

Likewise.

How about moving the body of the test to a procedure, and then
also testing deleting the file instead of making it unreadable?

Wouldn't the chmod make gdb also fail to load the file with the default
target: sysroot, since gdbserver would fail to read it?  I think
that should also be a test axis.
