[PATCH v2 2/2] gdb: add warning when no native target is available

[Guinevere Larsen <guinevere@redhat.com>]

When a user starts GDB, they have no way of knowing if native debugging
will be supported or not.  This is most relevant for Mac users, since
GDB hasn't been ported to Apple's CPUs yet.

This patch adds a warning if, after initializing all files, GDB was
unable to find an appropriate native target for the session, informing
the user that they will only be able to debug remotely.
