[PATCH 1/3] test: gdb insert: redirect input inside gdb script

From: Tomi Ollila <tomi.ollila at iki.fi>

Running `gdb command < input` is not as reliable way to give input
to the command (some installations of gdb consume it). Use "set args"
gdb command to have input redirected at gdb 'run' time.
