[committed][gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp with check-read1

Hi,

With check-read1, I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp: batch run: \
  terminal settings preserved
...

This is caused by spawn_shell matching too little output, after which
things start to go out of sync.

More specifically, the regexp:
...
       -re "PS1=\[^\r\n\]*\r\n.*$shell_prompt_re$" {
...
matches the first and part of the second line of this output:
...
PS1="gdb-subshell$ "^M
sh-4.4$ PS1="gdb-subshell$ "^M
gdb-subshell$
...
while it's supposed to match the entire output.

Fix this by splitting up the regexp into a part that skips the lines with PS1,
and one that reads the shell prompt.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom
