testing: probe gdb for supported architectures ahead of time
Currently when we encounter a gdb that is old or not built with
multiarch in mind we fail rather messily. Try and improve the
situation by probing ahead of time and setting
HOST_GDB_SUPPORTS_ARCH=y in the relevant tcg configs. We can then skip
and give a more meaningful message if we don't run the test.
