[rfa/testsuite] test script for pr gdb/1056, divide by zero in gdb

This is a new test script. It tests for PR gdb/1056.

http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/1056
divide by 0 hangs gdb

The test script includes some comments which analyze the problem.

The test script accepts any output from gdb followed by $gdb_prompt
as okay. A timeout results in a KFAIL.

Testing: I ran this script on native i686-pc-linux-gnu, red hat 8.0.
The result was a KFAIL.

Okay to commit?

# When SIGFPE happens, the operating system may restart the
# offending instruction after the signal handler returns,
# rather than proceeding to the next instruction. This happens
# on i686-pc-linux-gnu with a linux kernel. If gdb has a naive
# signal handler that just returns, then it will restart the
# broken instruction and gdb gets an endless stream of SIGFPE's
# and makes no progress.
#
# On a broken gdb this test will just time out.
