gdb: testsuite: remove attach test from can_spawn_for_attach

As Pedro Alves said, caching procs should not issue pass/fail [1],
this commit removes attach test from can_spawn_for_attach, at the
same time, use "verbose -log" instead of "unsupported" to get a
trace about why a test run doesn't support spawning for attach.
