In test-case gdb.tui/new-layout.exp we run into:
...
WARNING: timeout in accept_gdb_output
PASS: gdb.tui/new-layout.exp: layout=cmd_only {cmd 1} {} {}: \
bottom of cmd window is blank
...
The timeout happens here:
...
Term::command "layout src"
...
Before the "layout src" command we have:
...

The Term::command "layout src" is waiting to match:
- "(gdb) layout src", and then
- "(gdb) ".
The first part fails to match on a line:
...
| 26 |(gdb) layout src
...
because it expects the prompt at the start of the line.
Fix this by allowing the prompt at the start of a window as well.
Tested by x86_64-linux.
