Testsuite: Catch gdbserver socket listen errors
When launching gdbserver, the testsuite checks for binding failure but does not check for failure to listen to socket error (which can happen due to another gdbserver binding to the socket at the same time). When this error occurs, the test will ignore the error and connect GDB to the failed port. This may succeed and GDB will now be connected to the gdbserver from another test. This eventually causes both tests to fail. When running the tests suite with native-gdbserver across many cores, this issue may happen once or twice, each causing random failures for two .exp testscripts. Example gdb.log output for the failure: The testsuite sucessfully notices a failure to connect to port 2348. It launches again with port 2349, which also fails. The testsuite ignores this error and uses gdb to connect to the port - which succeeds. spawn /work/build/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once localhost:2348 /work/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.ada/arrayidx/p^M Can't bind address: Address already in use.^M Exiting^M Port 2348 is already in use. spawn /work/build/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once localhost:2349 /work/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.ada/arrayidx/p^M Can't listen on socket: Address already in use.^M Exiting^M target remote localhost:2349^M Remote debugging using localhost:2349^M Reading /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 from remote target...^M warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow.
