[PATCH] test: gdb insert: redirect input inside gdb script

[PATCH] test: gdb insert: redirect input inside gdb script

[Tomi Ollila]

Running `gdb command < input` is not as reliable way to give input
to the command (some installations of gdb consume it). Use "set args"
gdb command to have input redirected at gdb 'run' time.
---

With this change, these tests work on FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64[.qcow2]
when adding gdb 7.11.1 using pkg install (and having /usr/local/bin in
front of path) -- before this gdb just hang -- and it took a while...

On Linux this test keeps working.

After commit and before amend(*) I dropped '-nx' command line option
(to not read any gdbinit files). Perhaps all gdb invocations should
have that (currently none has).

(*) git commit -a --amend -C HEAD ;: let the virus spread :)
