      [gdb/testsuite] Error out on clean_restart <absolute filename>

These commits added a lot of calls to gdb_load which can be removed in
many cases by passing $testfile to clean_restart, or by switching to
use prepare_for_testing to compile the test executable.

In this commit I've gone through the gdb.base/ directory and removed
as many of the gdb_load calls as possible.  I was only looking for
places where the gdb_load call immediately follows the call to
clean_restart.  And I did skip a few where it was not as simple as
just passing $testfile.

Where possible I've updated tests to use calls to prepare_for_testing,
and simply removed the clean_restart call altogether (this is done as
part of prepare_for_testing).  This is, I think, the best solution.

In other cases I've removed the gdb_load call, and passed $testfile to
clean_restart.  I've preferred $::testfile to adding a 'global'
declaration, and in some cases switching to testfile has allowed me to
remove the 'global binfile' as an additional cleanup.

I ran the complete set of tests that I touched and I didn't see any
regressions, so I don't believe I broke anything.

I know that there are probably gdb_load calls that can be cleaned up
in other testsuite sub-directories, if/when this patch is merged I'll
take a look at those too.
