Fix GDB build: ELF support check & -lzstd
GDB fails to build for me, on Ubuntu 20.04. I get:
...
CXXLD gdb
/usr/bin/ld: linux-tdep.o: in function `linux_corefile_thread(thread_info*, linux_corefile_thread_data*)':

Those undefined functions exist in gdb/gcore-elf.c, which is only
included in the build if GDB's configure thinks that the target you're
configuring for is an ELF target. GDB's configure thinks my system
isn't ELF, which is incorrect.
For the ELF support check, gdb/config.log shows:

Note how above, in the gcc command line, "-lzstd" appears before
"-lbfd". That explain the link failure. It should appear after, like
-lz does.
This commit fixes it, by moving ZSTD_LIBS from LDFLAGS to LIBS, next
to -lz, in GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD, and regenerating gdb/configure.
