[PATCH v2] test: check the handling of files vanishing between scandir and indexing

[Jani Nikula]

Add a file for scandir to find, but use gdb to remove it before it
gets indexed.

---

v2: Apparently our test setup is clever enough to gracefully handle
missing prerequisites, and ignore subtest results. Just make sure we
remove the test file also in case gdb isn't there, to not leave
garbage behind.
