Print the "file" command suggestion in exec_file_locate_attach

currently:
	$ gdbserver-7.9 :1234 true &
	$ gdb -q -ex 'target remote :1234' # that -q is not relevant here
	Remote debugging using :1234
	warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
	try using the "file" command first.
	0x00007ffff7ddcc80 in ?? ()
	(gdb) b main
	No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
	Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) _

Provide more suggestive message to use the "file" command.
