gdbsupport: change path_join parameter to array_view<const char *>

When a GDB built with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1 reads a binary with a single
character name, we hit this assertion failure:

    $ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory -nx ./x
    /usr/include/c++/12.1.0/string_view:239: constexpr const std::basic_string_view<_CharT, _Traits>::value_type& std::basic_string_view<_CharT, _Traits>::operator[](size_type) const [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; const_reference = const char&; size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__pos < this->_M_len' failed.

The backtrace:

The problem is this line in path_join:

    gdb_assert (strlen (path) == 0 || !IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH (path));

... where `path` is "x".  IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH eventually calls
HAS_DRIVE_SPEC_1:

    #define HAS_DRIVE_SPEC_1(dos_based, f)                  \
      ((f)[0] && ((f)[1] == ':') && (dos_based))

This macro accesses indices 0 and 1 of the input string.  However, `f`
is a string_view of length 1, so it's incorrect to try to access index
1.  We know that the string_view's underlying object is a null-terminated
string, so in practice there's no harm.  But as far as the string_view
is concerned, index 1 is considered out of bounds.

This patch makes the easy fix, that is to change the path_join parameter
from a vector of to a vector of `const char *`.  Another solution would
be to introduce a non-standard gdb::cstring_view class, which would be a
view over a null-terminated string.  With that class, it would be
correct to access index 1, it would yield the NUL character.  If there
is interest in having this class (it has been mentioned a few times in
the past) I can do it and use it here.

This was found by running tests such as gdb.ada/arrayidx.exp, which
produce 1-char long filenames, so adding a new test is not necessary.
