[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/gdb: fix gdb default version

[Romain Naour via buildroot]

We need to select one of the 3 gdb versions available when host-gdb is
not selected but the condition was removed while removing gdb 14.x
in commit [1], so gdb package fail to download the archive.

Select BR2_GDB_VERSION_16 when !BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB.

[Buildroot] [PATCH] support/testing: remove TestGdbArc

[Romain Naour via buildroot]

The Arc specific gdb version was removed by commit [1]
but we still have the TestGdbArc that was testing this
version of gdb.

We can now safely remove TestGdbArc.
