gdb: Fix "info os <unknown>" command
Running `info os someUnknownOsType` is crashing when gdb is built with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG: /usr/include/c++/5/debug/vector:439:error: attempt to access an element in an empty container. In target_read_stralloc from target.c, the call to target_read_alloc_1 can return an empty vector, we then call vector::back on this vector, which is invalid. This commit adds a check for emptiness before trying to call vector::back on it. It also adds test to check for `info os <unknown>` to return the proper error message. This is a regression in gdb 8.2 and this patch restores the behavior of previous versions. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/23974 * target.c (target_read_stralloc): Check for empty vector. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR gdb/23974 * gdb.base/info-os.exp: Check return for unknown "info os" type.
