    Restore behavior of disabling address randomization by default on GDBserver
    
    Commit
    
      c12a508 ("Add client_state struct.")
    
    inadvertently changed the default behavior of GDBserver wrt address
    randomization.  The old disable_randomization global variable was
    initialized to 1, whereas the corresponding field in the client_state
    structure is initialized to 0.
    
    This fixes
    
      make check TESTS="gdb.base/jit-simple.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
      make check TESTS="gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
    
    Note that the execl-update-breakpoints.exp would only fail on systems
    where the toolchain emits position-independent executables by default
    (otherwise the main executable position is never randomized, so the
    value of disable_randomization didn't matter).
