[PATCH 0/7] first batch of test suite updates

[Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com>]

I've been working on a long-term project to fully parallelize the gdb
test suite.  The end goal is that it should be possible to run each
.exp file in parallel.

This project has many parts; and the full patch is not quite finished
(and is also very large).  I wanted to start sending out some of the
more straightforward changes, mostly so that I wouldn't have to
constantly rebase them.  I think these changes are reasonable in their
own right.

This series holds all the "easy" conversions from gdb.base.  This is
just straightforward changes to use standard_testfile and
standard_output_file, plus also prepare_for_testing or clean_restart
as well.

This series fixes a few spots where .exp files did not interact well.
For example, cases where the tests used the same executable name.

This regression tests cleanly; however since some file names changed
there are a few minor output changes:

    Missing tests:
    gdb.base/corefile.exp: args: -core=coremaker.core: PASS
    gdb.base/corefile.exp: args: execfile -core=coremaker.core: PASS
    gdb.base/info-proc.exp: core break.gcore: PASS

    New tests:
    gdb.base/corefile.exp: args: -core=corefile.core: PASS
    gdb.base/corefile.exp: args: execfile -core=corefile.core: PASS
    gdb.base/default.exp: set the history filename: PASS
    gdb.base/info-proc.exp: core info-proc.gcore: PASS

I don't consider this to be a problem.

I split the patch up into 7 roughly equal-sized pieces based on file
name.

After this series, gdb.base is still not parallel-clean.  There are
some lurking "trickier" cases I omitted from this series, as they
depend on new testsuite/lib infrastructure.  I plan to work through
all the easy/obvious bits first, before starting to upstream that
stuff.
