We have a fair bit of code in both src/tools/compiletest and tests/debuginfo devoted to handling the 7.X releases of gdb, because those had no built-in Rust support. But as of this year at least, the oldest supported RHEL version is now shipping gdb 8.2 so there's no reason for us to be pretending to support versions of gdb before 8.2.

The dev guide also vaguely indicates that this distinction for lldb shouldn't exist anymore:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/blob/43d83780db545a1ed6d45773312fc578987e3968/src/tests/compiletest.md?plain=1#L216

  • Delete all the gdbg annotations in tests/debuginfo, and convert all gdbr to just gdb
  • Delete all the lldbg annotations in tests/debuginfo and convert all lldbr to lldb
  • Check if the tests still pass (you've got a 50/50 shot on this, debuginfo tests are cursed)
  • Delete the code in compiletest that handles this "Rust support" version gap for gdb, and for lldb

Delete debuginfo test suite support for gdb/lldb without native Rust support

Implements rust-lang#128953

I also deleted all the `min-lldb-version: 310` comments, because the oldest compatible distro I can find is Ubuntu 16.04 which ships lldb 3.8, though of course the package that the Ubuntu maintainers put together for that is broken.

Rocky Linux 8 amusingly ships lldb 17, even though it has a similar glibc and kernel version.

This PR is multiple highly mechanical changes. Some of the commits were created by just running `sed`. You may find it easier to review each commit separately.

Turns out the modern side of the version split for lldb is the version without Rust support. That's a bummer, but still the goal here is to delete unused code.
