[PATCH 1/4] gdb/testsuite: gdb.base/args.exp: use save_vars

Use save_vars instead of manually saving/restoring.  This ensures that
if anything throws an error, GDBFLAGS will be correctly restored.

Remove the global GDBFLAGS declaration at the top, it's not necessary.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/args.exp: Use save_vars.
