[patch] skip tests that use cd for remote hosts


Several GDB tests change directory before compiling the test program in
order to test source file names that include directories.  This doesn't
work on a remote host because default_target_compile in DejaGnu's
target.exp copies each source file with "[remote_download host $x]"
which uses "[file tail $file] to strip off the directory of each file.
If the source directory is remote mounted on the host, this also leaves
copied files in the source directory.

A similar skip is already used in gdb.test/fullname.exp:

    # We rely on being able to copy things around.

    if { [is_remote host] } {
        untested "setting breakpoints by full path"
        return -1
    }

This patch causes three GDB tests that use "cd" to be skipped for a
remote host.  For gdb.base/fullpath-expand.exp this eliminates two
failures and prevents the test from leaving files fullpath-expand.c
and fullpath-expand-func.c in gdb/testsuite.  For
gdb.base/realname-expand.exp it eliminates two failures.  For
gdb.linespec/macro-relative.exp it prevents file macro-relative.c from
being left in gdb/testsuite/gdb.linespec/base/two.

I'm not set up to test this with a build of upstream gdb but have tested
it with a remote host using arm-none-gnueabi with relavent DejaGnu and
GDB tests that are the same as in upstream.  OK?
