[PATCH v2 03/16] Make gdb.base/long-inferior-output.exp fail fast

[Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>]

A local change I was working on had a bug that made GDB lose inferior
output, which was caught by the gdb.base/long-inferior-output.exp
testcase.  While debugging the problem, I found it useful to have the
testcase fail quickly when it noticed output was missing.

Also, tighten the regexes to make sure that we don't get
spurious/repeated/bogus output between each "this is line number ..."
line.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <pedro@palves.net>

	* gdb.base/long-inferior-output.exp: Don't set "more" when we see
	an unexpected "this is line number" number.
