[PATCH 2/2] Make gdbserver work with filename-only binaries


Simon mentioned on IRC that, after the startup-with-shell feature has
been implemented on gdbserver, it is not possible to specify a
filename-only binary, like:

  $ gdbserver :1234 a.out
  /bin/bash: line 0: exec: a.out: not found
  During startup program exited with code 127.
  Exiting

This happens on systems where the current directory "." is not listed
in the PATH environment variable.  Although include "." in the PATH
variable is a possible workaround, this can be considered a regression
because before startup-with-shell it was possible to use only the
filename (due to reason that gdbserver used "exec*" directly).

The idea of the patch is to perform a call to "gdb_abspath" and adjust
the PROGRAM_NAME variable before the call to "create_inferior".  This
adjustment will consist of tilde-expansion or prefixing PROGRAM_NAME
using the CURRENT_DIRECTORY (a variable that was specific to GDB, but
has been put into common/common-defs.h and now is set/used by
gdbserver as well), thus transforming PROGRAM_NAME in an absolute
path.

This mimicks the behaviour seen on GDB (look at "openp" and
"attach_inferior", for example).  Now, we'll always execute the binary
using its full path on gdbserver.

I am also submitting a testcase which exercises the scenario described
above.  Because the test requires copying (and deleting) files
locally, I decided to restrict its execution to non-remote
targets/hosts.  I've also had to do a minor adjustment on
gdb.server/non-existing-program.exp's regexp in order to match the
correct error message.

Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.
