testsuite: Fix a `server_pid' access crash in gdb.server/server-kill.exp

Fix a commit f90183d7e31b ("Get GDBserver pid on remote target") bug and
correctly handle the case where the PID of `gdbserver' could not have
been retrieved.  If that happens, $server_pid is unset causing:

FAIL: gdb.server/server-kill.exp: p server_pid
ERROR: tcl error sourcing .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill.exp.
ERROR: can't read "server_pid": no such variable
    while executing
"if {$server_pid == "" } {
    return -1
}"
    (file ".../gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill.exp" line 49)
    invoked from within
"source .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill.exp"

    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 source .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill.exp"
    invoked from within
"catch "uplevel #0 source $test_file_name""

Verify that the variable exists then rather than trying to access it.

	* gdb.server/server-kill.exp: Verify whether `server_pid' exists
	rather then trying to access it in determining whether the PID
	of `gdbserver' could have been retrieved.
