[RFC] Fix testsuite interruption on cygwin in gdb.fortran/array-element.exp

["Pierre Muller" <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>]

 The testsuite does not go to completion on cygwin,
at least not on my computer.

I get a error:

Running ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/array-element.exp ...
ERROR: (DejaGnu) proc "additional" does not exist.

so nothing after gdb.fortran (in alphabetical order)
is tested... Which explains why I did not see
my pascal changes when testing them overnight.

 I had to dig quite a long time to find this out:
using 
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--debug"
I was able to see in dbg.log that
there is a problem with lib/gdb.exp
due to a misplaced comment in gdb_run_cmd
Expect was looking for "The program .* has been started already.*y or n. $",
but after also for "#" "Use" "here"...
I have no idea if this is a problem of gdb_expect
or if comments are indeed not allowed inside this
function. It might be a cygwin specific issue,
but I have no ideas if this is the case.

  Anyhow, moving the comment outside of gdb_expect
solved this problem, see patch below.


 Is this OK to commit?

A simple way to test just this is to use
make check "RUNTESTFLAGS=--dir=gdb.fortran --debug"
and to inspect the file "dbg.log".
Could someone check if on other targets,
expect also considers the comment as a list of patterns?

	* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_run_cmd): Move comment outside
	of gdb_expect call, to avoid interruption.
