[PATCH] Fix various tests to use -no-pie linker flag when needed

Various test use test code written in i386 / x86_64 assembly that cannot
be used to create PIE executables. Therefore compilation of test programs
failed on systems where the compiler default is to create PIE executable.

The solution is to use -no-pie linker flag, however, such flag may not
(is not) supported by all compilers GDB needs to support. To handle this,
introduce a new flag to gdb_compile - nopie - which inserts -no-pie linker
flag where supported and is no-op where it is not. By default, -no-pie flag
is inserted since most modern compiler do support it.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-08-28  Jan Vrany  <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>

	* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: Use -no-pie linker flag
	to enforce non-PIE executable.
	* gdb.arch/amd64-entry-value.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.arch/amd64-invalid-stack-middle.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.arch/i386-float.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.arch/i386-signal.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.mi/mi-reg-undefined.exp: Likewise.
