gdb/dwarf: skip broken .debug_macro.dwo
Running gdb.base/errno.exp with gcc <= 13 with split DWARF results in:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.base/errno.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="CC_FOR_TARGET=gcc-13 --target_board=fission"
(gdb) break -qualified main
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:7549: internal-error: locate_dwo_sections: Assertion `!dw_sect->readin' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

FAIL: gdb.base/errno.exp: macros: gdb_breakpoint: set breakpoint at main (GDB internal error)
The assert being hit has been added in 28f15782adab ("gdb/dwarf: read
multiple .debug_info.dwo sections"), but it merely exposed an existing
problem.
gcc versions <= 13 are affected by this bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111409
Basically, it produces .dwo files with multiple .debug_macro.dwo
sections, with some unresolved links between them. I think that this
macro debug info is unusable, and all we can do is ignore it.
In locate_dwo_sections, if we detect a second .debug_macro.dwo section,
forget about the previous .debug_macro.dwo and any subsequent one. This
will effectively make it as if the macro debug info wasn't there at all.
The errno test seems happy with it:
# of expected passes 84
# of expected failures 8
