[Bug corefiles/10832] New: gdb COREFILE should not require -c

Usability:
User intuitively does: gdb ./core-file
and not: gdb -c ./core-file
GDB can easily autodetect the (ELF) file type and assume "-c" there itself.
This issue is more relevant for the build-id-locating patch currently not
present in FSF GDB where no executable is required to load a core-file.
Currently with FSF GDB one has to do: gdb ./exec-file ./core-file
as this way would not be too useful: gdb -c ./core-file
