[PATCH v3 2/2] Test GDB connection to GDBserver with no symbol files

This test exercises the scenarios where we attempt to connect GDB to GDBserver
in standard remote mode, query the symbol file path, attempt to open said
symbol file on GDB's end and fail, causing the connection to drop abruptly.

Regression-tested on x86-64/Ubuntu.

Does it look OK now?

Changes in v2:

- Addressed comments and moved the test to a proc that can be called multiple
times.
- The testcase now exercises these permutations:

* Unreadable file + empty sysroot
* Unreadable file + target: sysroot
* Removed file + empty sysroot
* Removed file + target: sysroot

Changes in v3:

- Simplified testcase source file, removing useless include and printf call.
- Simplified testcase with foreach_with_prefix.

With an unpatched GDB we should see this:

FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=: action=permission: connection to GDBserver succeeded (the program is no longer running)
FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=: action=delete: connection to GDBserver succeeded (the program is no longer running)
FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=target:: action=permission: connection to GDBserver succeeded (the program is no longer running)
FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=target:: action=delete: connection to GDBserver succeeded (the program is no longer running)

A patched GDB should have full passes.
