[gdb/testsuite] Fix timeout in gdb.mi/mi-multi-commands.exp

On aarch64-linux, with test-case gdb.mi/mi-multi-commands.exp once in a while
I run into (edited for readability):
...
(gdb) ^M
<LOTS-OF-SPACES>-data-evaluate-expression $a^M
-data-evaluate-^done,value="\"FIRST COMMAND\""^M
expression $b(gdb) ^M
^M
^done,value="\"TEST COMPLETE\""^M
(gdb) ^M
PASS: $exp: args=: look for first command output, command length 236
FAIL: $exp: args=: look for second command output, command length 236 (timeout)
...

This is more likely to trigger when running the test-case using
taskset -c <cpu> (where in a big.little setup we pick a little cpu).

The setup here is that the test-case issues these two commands at once:
...
-data-evaluate-expression $a
-data-evaluate-expression $b
...
where the length of the first command is artificially increased by prefixing
it with spaces, show as <LOTS-OF-SPACES> above.

What happens is that gdb, after parsing the first command, executes it.
Then the output of the first command intermixes with the echoing of the second
command, which produces this line containing the first prompt:
...
expression $b(gdb) ^M
...
which doesn't match the \r\n prefix of the regexp supposed to consume the
first prompt:
...
           -re "\r\n$mi_gdb_prompt" {
...

Fix this by dropping the \r\n prefix.

Tested on aarch64-linux.
