Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Prevent compilation fails with unix/-fPIE/-pie

A regular test-case will produce an executable, and depending on the compiler
default, it will be a PIE or not.  A test-case can force one or the other
using the pie and nopie options.

However, when running with target board unix/-fPIE/-pie, the nopie option will
have no effect, and likewise for target board unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie and the
pie option.

When say we run test-case gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp, which passes the pie
option with target board unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie we get:
...
 Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp ...
 gdb compile failed, pie failed to generate PIE executable

=== gdb Summary ===

# of untested testcases         1
...

However, this works only when we actually manage to generate an executable.

There are other test-cases, like f.i. gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp that
specify nopie, but will generate a compilation failure with target board
unix/-fPIE/-pie due to using a hard-coded .S file:
...
 Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp ...
 gdb compile failed, ld: outputs/gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step/amd64-disp-step0.o: \
   relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when making a PIE \
   object; recompile with -fPIE
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

=== gdb Summary ===

# of untested testcases         1
...

Hide this compilation error by:
- adding a gdb_caching_proc pie_forced, and
- using it in gdb_compile to bail out before even trying compilation
such that we simply have:
...
UNTESTED: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: failed to prepare
...

Likewise, add nopie_forced.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
