It seems older and non-multiarach aware GDBs might not fail gracefully
when faced with something they don't know. For example when faced with
a target XML for s390x the Ubuntu 18.04 gdb will generate an internal
fault and prompt for a core dump.
Work around this by invoking GDB in a more batch orientated way and
then trying to filter out between test failures and gdb failures.

The test runners job is to start QEMU with guest debug enabled and
then spawn a gdb process running a test script that exercises the
functionality it wants to test.
