[RFA/doco] gdb.texinfo: Document GMP as mandatory requirement to build GDB

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello,

This commit corrects an oversight when the fixed-point support
was first pushed in.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog

        * gdb.texinfo (Requirements): Add GMP to list of requirements.

Tested by rebuilding gdb.pdf.

OK to push?

Thank you!
