[gdb/testsuite] Speed up gdb.base/tls-dlobj.exp

In test-case gdb.base/tls-dlobj.exp we use breakpoints to step through the
executable.  The breakpoints are used only once, but they are permanent, so we
end up with 11 breakpoints, 10 of which of the form $srcfile:$n.

The executable loads and unloads shared libraries, triggering solib events in
gdb, which will re-set the breakpoints.

Setting a breakpoint of the form $srcfile:$n triggers a filename search that
iterates over all CUs in all objfiles for which we have debuginfo.

In case glibc debuginfo is installed, and in case we have a slow gdb, for
instance because of building with -O0 and Address Sanitizer, this might become
noticeable.

While it's a good idea to try to speed up this search (see for instance
PR33781), measuring this speed is not the point of this test-case, so fix this
by making the breakpoints temporary.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
