gdb/testsuite: fix default behavior of runto
The documented behavior of proc runto is to not emit a PASS when
succeeding to to run to the specified location, but emit a FAIL when
failing to do so. I suppose the intent is that it won't pollute the
results normally passing tests (although I don't see why we would care),
but make visible any problems.
However, it seems like the implementation makes it default to never
print anything. "no-message" is prependend to "args", so if "message"
is not passed, we will always take the path that sets print_fail to 0,
which will silence any failure.
This unfortunately means that tests relying on runto_main won't emit a
FAIL if failing to run to main. And since commit
4dfef5be6812
("gdb/testsuite: make runto_main not pass no-message to runto"), tests
don't emit a FAIL themselves when failing to run to main. This means
that tests failing to run to main just fail silently, and that's bad.
This can be reproduced by hacking gdb.base/template.exp like so:
diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/template.c b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/template.c

Running the modified gdb.base/template.exp shows that it exits without
printing any result.
Remove the line that prepends no-message to args, that should make
runto's behavior match its documentation.
This patch will appear to add many failures, but in reality they already
existed, they were just silenced.
