Testcase dbx.exp uses command "exec-file" but doesn't properly handle
the case of replacing one executable with another - it was handling the
case of local debugging, when inferior process is started by GDB, but
not the case of remote gdbserver, where message is different. Example
output, which is now handled is:

(gdb) file .../gdb.base/dbx/dbx
A program is being debugged already.
Are you sure you want to change the file? (y or n) y
Load new symbol table from .../gdb.base/dbx/dbx"? (y or n) y

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-08-19  Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com>

	* gdb.base/dbx.exp (gdb_file_cmd): Add a case for
	changing the file.

Is this again an artifact of starting a gdb+debugging stub setup with 
the program loaded as opposed to only starting gdb and then firing up 
the debugging stub?

Is this still valid given the ChangeLog date? I don't see the file 
command being used, only exec-file and symbol-file.
