Spurious testsuite failures due to multibyte locale

- Subject: Spurious testsuite failures due to multibyte locale
I'm getting numerous spurious testsuite failures when running in a
multibyte locale like utf8 because the version of readline included in
gdb forces the command line to be always redrawn completely when
running in a multibyte locale. The output of the prompt will look
like "\r\n\r\r(gdb) \r(gdb) " which won't be matched by $gdb_prompt.
Andreas.

* lib/gdb.exp: Set LC_ALL to "C" to avoid spurious testsuite
failures.
