Pedro Alves e3e837844a gdb.perf/: FAIL on Python errors, avoid "ERROR: internal buffer is full"
Currently, if you run make check-perf on a system with Python 3.8,
tests seen to PASS, but they actually test a lot less than intended,
due to:

 PerfTest::assemble, run ...
 python BackTrace(64).run()
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/home/pedro/rocm/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.perf/lib/perftest/perftest.py", line 65, in run
     self.execute_test()
   File "<string>", line 49, in execute_test
   File "/home/pedro/rocm/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.perf/lib/perftest/measure.py", line 45, in measure
     m.start(id)
   File "/home/pedro/rocm/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.perf/lib/perftest/measure.py", line 102, in start
     self.start_time = time.clock()
 AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'
 Error while executing Python code.
 (gdb) PASS: gdb.perf/backtrace.exp: python BackTrace(64).run()

And then, after fixing the above Python compatibility issues (which
will be a separate patch), I get 86 instances of overflowing expect's
buffer, like:

  ERROR: internal buffer is full.
  UNRESOLVED: gdb.perf/single-step.exp: python SingleStep(1000).run()

This patch fixes both problems by adding & using a gdb_test_python_run
routine that:

 - checks for Python errors
 - consumes output line by line
