[PATCH] [gdb/testsuite] Fix target endianness detection on msys2-ucrt64

On msys2-ucrt64, with test-case gdb.ada/big_packed_array.exp I run into:
...
(gdb) file /home/vries/gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/temp/3162/target_endianness.x
/home/vries/gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/temp/3162/target_endianness.x: No such file or directory.
(gdb) ERROR: (target_endianness.x) No such file or directory
...

Fix this by using host_file_normalize in gdb_file_cmd.

Tested on msys2-ucrt64.
