Different outputs affected by hosts
We find the following fails in gdb test on mingw host.
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat_p
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat (print null on)
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat (print elements 3)
FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat_p (print elements 3)
print repeat^M
$7 = L"A", '¢' <repeats 21 times>, "B", '\000' <repeats 104 times>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/wchar.exp: print repeat
the \242 is expected in the test but cent sign is displayed.
In valprint.c:print_wchar, wchar_printable is called to determine
whether a wchar is printable. wchar_printable calls iswprint but
the iswprint's return value depends on LC_CTYPE setting of locale [1, 2].
The output may vary with different locale settings and OS. IMO, '¢'
(cent sign) is a correct output on Windows.

This patch is set $cent to cent sign if the GDB is running on a
Windows host.

* gdb.base/wchar.exp: Set $cent to \u00A2 if "host-charset" is
CP1252.
