Clean up testsuite compiler_info support.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/watchpoint.exp (test_complex_watchpoint): Remove
	compiler_info references.
	* gdb.cp/temargs.exp: Ditto.
	* lib/gdb.exp: Unset compiler_info instead of setting to "unknown".
	(get_compiler_info): Early exit if already computed.  Set compiler_info
	to "unknown" if there was a problem.
	(test_compiler_info): Add function comment.  Call get_compiler_info.
