[Bug 1901026] [NEW] [GDB] No socket file connection support

[Luis]

Public bug reported:

GDB on Ubuntu 18.04 (GNU gdb (Ubuntu 8.1-0ubuntu3.2) 8.1.0.20180409-git)
does not support connecting to a remote target via a socket file.

This is the error we get:

(gdb) target remote /run/user/1000/at-spi2-QTZBS0/socket
/run/user/1000/at-spi2-QTZBS0/socket: No such device or address.

Commit c1168a2f66553cd4730931cf59e3be8378a1a03f enables this in GDB. It
would be nice to have it backported.
