        [gdb/testsuite] Convert multi-line function call into single line.
    
        After this clang backend patch(https://reviews.llvm.org/D91734), 8 test points
        started to FAIL in this test case. As mentioned in this PR, "...this test is
        trying to next over a function call; gcc attributes all parameter evaluation
        to the function name, while clang will attribute each parameter to its own
        location. And when the parameters span across multiple source lines, the
        is_stmt heuristic kicks in, so we stop on each line with actual parameters...".
    
        gdb.base/foll-exec.c test file snippet :
        . . .
         42   execlp (prog, /* tbreak-execlp */
         43           prog,
         44           "execlp arg1 from foll-exec",
         45           (char *) 0);
         46
         47   printf ("foll-exec is about to execl(execd-prog)...\n");
        . . .
    
        Line table: (before clang backend patch for the above code snippet) :
        0x000000b0: 84 address += 8,  line += 2
                    0x000000000020196a     42      3      1   0             0

        0x000000b2: 41 address += 3,  line += 5
                    0x000000000020197e     47      3      1   0             0

        0x000000b9: 05 DW_LNS_set_column (3)
        0x000000bb: 73 address += 7,  line += -1
                    0x0000000000201966     42      3      1   0             0
        0x000000bc: 08 DW_LNS_const_add_pc (0x0000000000000011)
        0x000000bd: 4f address += 4,  line += 5
                    0x000000000020197b     47      3      1   0             0
    
        Following 8 test points started to fail after the above clang backend patch.
    
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step through execlp call
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step after execlp call
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/global_i (after execlp)
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/local_j (after execlp)
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print follow-exec/local_k (after execlp)
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step through execl call
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: step after execl call
        FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: print execd-program/local_j (after execl)
    
        As we can note, reason for these new test failures is due to additional
        .debug_line entries getting created in case of clang compiler, hence to fix
        this issue, test case required either additional next command during
        these multi-line function call or combine these multi-line function call into
        single line. This PR has taken the latter approach and converted the multi-line
        function call into single line in foll-exec.c, thereby there is no change in
        .debug_line entries now and test case works as expected.
