  There's actually a couple of core file related improvements in this
series.

Patches #1 and #2 improve what information GDB can extract about the
execution context (executable name, inferior arguments, and
environment) when opening a core file.

Then patch #4 improves GDB's ability to auto-load the executable that
matches a core file (on GNU/Linux).

Patch #3 is a testsuite refactor to allow for patch #4.

And patch #5 replicates patch #4, but for FreeBSD.

Thanks,
Andrew

  gdb: parse and set the inferior environment from core files
  gdb/testsuite: make some of the core file / build-id tests harder
  gdb: improve GDB's ability to auto-load the exec for a core file
  gdb/freebsd: port core file context parsing to FreeBSD
