[PATCH] Allow osabi to be optional in target descriptors


Osabi is an option field in target descriptors, according to:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Target-Description-Format.html

However, removing the osabi field from the i386 and amd64 target descriptors
will cause gdbserver to assert. This is code I used to test (not for
committing!) :

The following patch fixes this error.

Tested with gdbserver on x86 and also on aarch64 with my target descriptor patch.
Also ran make check on x86 with unix and native-gdbserver.
