With test-case gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp, I sometimes run into:
...
builtin_spawn gdb -nw -nx -q -iex set height 0 -iex set width 0 \
-data-directory data-directory^M
kill^M
(gdb) kill^M
file server-kill-python^M
The program is not being run.^M
(gdb) ERROR: Couldn't load server-kill-python into GDB.
...
The problem is that the spawn produces a prompt, but it's not explicitly
consumed.
This is a regression since commit
0f077fcae0f ("[gdb/testsuite] Simplify
gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp").
Fix this by consuming the initial prompt.
