[PATCH] [gdb] Rewrite error and warning emojis

[Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>]

While working on PR34501 I realized that these two strings actually contain
two unicode characters:
...
static std::string warning_prefix = "⚠️ ";
static std::string error_prefix = "❌️ ";
...

Both the Warning Sign [1] and the Cross Mark [2] are followed by Variation
Selector-16 (VS16) [3].

To make this obvious, I decided to rewrite in a style that makes it explicit
both which unicode characters are used, and how they are encoded:
...
static std::string warning_prefix = u8"\u26A0\uFE0F ";
...

In the process I found out that the Cross Mark doesn't need VS16, because its
default presentation is already "Emoji" rather than "Text", so that one simply
becomes:
...
static std::string error_prefix = u8"\u274C ";
...

AFAICT, this property (default presentation == "Emoji") can be verified by
finding Cross Mark here [4] and checking that property Emoji_Presentation
applies.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
