[release-branch.go1.17] runtime: skip TestGdbBacktrace flakes matching a known GDB...

TestGdbBacktrace occasionally fails due to a GDB internal error.
We have observed the error on various linux builders since at least
October 2020, and it has been reported upstream at least twice.¹²

Since the bug is external to the Go project and does not appear to be
fixed upstream, this failure mode can only add noise.
