Fix and improve comment in gdb_remote_download
This patch fixes the current comment in gdb_remote_download, which is false (the "except if that's already where it is" part). It also improves it, by explaining why pass TOFILE through standard_output_file, even it is an absolute path. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_remote_download): Fix and extend comment.
