Fix gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp

Due to recent changes in the default value of -fcf-protection for gcc, the
test gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp fails on Intel X86-64 with the
error:

Executing on host: gcc  -fno-stack-protector  -fdiagnostics-color=never

22:1: error: '-mindirect-branch' and '-fcf-protection' are not compatible
   22 | {                /* inc.1 */

As stated in the error message the default "-fcf-protection" and
"-mindirect-branch' are in compatible.  The fcf-protection argument needs
to be "-fcf-protection=none" for the test to compile on Intel.

The gcc command line "-mindirect-branch' is an Intel specific and will give
an error on other platforms.  A check for X86 is added so the test will
only run on X86 platforms.

The patch has been tested and verified on Power 10 and Intel X86-64 systems
with no regressions.
