[patch V4 07/15] scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage

x86 changed the interrupt statistics from a struct with individual members
to an counter array. It also provides a corresponding info array with the
strings for prefix and description and an indicator to skip the entry.

Update the already out of sync GDB script to use the counter and the info
array, which keeps the GDB script in sync automatically.
