[gdb/testsuite] Fix timeouts in gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit.exp
Once in a while, I run into a timeout in test-case
gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit.exp:
...
(gdb) continue^M

I can reproduce it more frequently by running with taskset -c <slow core id>.
Fix this by using -no-prompt-anchor.
This requires us to add -no-prompt-anchor to proc gdb_test_multiple.
Tested on aarch64-linux.
