[PATCH] [gdb/testsuite] Fix can_spawn_for_attach_1 consistency check

When running test-case gdb.testsuite/gdb-caching-proc-consistency.exp with
target board native-gdbserver, we run into:
...
(gdb) ERROR: tcl error sourcing gdb.testsuite/gdb-caching-proc-consistency.exp.
ERROR: gdbserver does not support attach 4827 without extended-remote
    while executing
"error "gdbserver does not support $command without extended-remote""
    (procedure "gdb_test_multiple" line 51)
    invoked from within
"gdb_test_multiple "attach $test_pid" "can spawn for attach" {
        -re -wrap "$attaching_re\r\n.*ptrace: Operation not permitted\\." {
            # Not permitte..."
    (procedure "gdb_real__can_spawn_for_attach_1" line 27)
    invoked from within
"gdb_real__can_spawn_for_attach_1"
...

The problem is that:
- can_spawn_for_attach_1 is a helper function for can_spawn_for_attach,
  designed to be called only from that function, and
- can_spawn_for_attach_1 is a gdb_caching_proc, and consequently
  test-case gdb.testsuite/gdb-caching-proc-consistency.exp calls
  can_spawn_for_attach_1 directly.

Fix this by copying the early-outs from can_spawn_for_attach to
can_spawn_for_attach_1.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
