With test-case gdb.tui/scroll-bottom-right.exp and make-check-all.sh I
ran into:
...
HOST BOARD: local-remote-host-notty, TARGET BOARD: remote-gdbserver-on-localhost
FAIL: gdb.tui/scroll-bottom-right.exp: prompt at left border
FAIL: gdb.tui/scroll-bottom-right.exp: responsive prompt
...

The problem is that the host board sets editing to off, while the test-case
uses ^L, which requires editing on.

Fix this by using echo instead.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
