gdb/testsuite: do not force -static in gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond.exp

When running gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond.exp on Debian 13, I get:

    -catch-exception -c "i = 2" -e constraint_error
    ^error,msg="Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.\nCannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration."
    (gdb)
    FAIL: gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond.exp: catch C_E if i = 2 (unexpected output)

And this is despite having the check "gnat_runtime_has_debug_info" at
the top of the file.

The problem is that the "gnat_runtime_has_debug_info" is done using the
toolchain's default mode, regarding linking to a static or shared
libgnat.  On Debian, the default is specificalyl changed to be shared
[1].

However, the test forces linking to a static libgnat.  The result is
that gnat_runtime_has_debug_info passes, seeing that when linking
against libgnat.so, debug info is available (distributed as separate
debug info, in /usr/lib/debug).  But then, the test explicitly builds
against a static libgnat, and then fails because debug info is not
found.

I propose to remove that "force static" part of the test.  It was added
in the test in the original commit that introduced it [2] without
explanation.  Not forcing it makes more sense to me:
gnat_runtime_has_debug_info checks if, when using the default linking
mode of the toolchain, debug info can be found.  And then, not
specifying anything to gdb_compile_ada builds the test binary with the
default mode of the toolchain.  So the two are coherent.

With this patch, I see the failures shown by Tom Tromey in this patch
[3], and with his patch applied, the test passes fine.
