The testcase, at some point, is trying to change the contents
of a string that was defined as follow:
char *str = "hello, testsuite";
The problem is that the string is constant, and str is never used
to change the contents of the string in the program, so the compiler
is free to allocate it in a read-only section. This is what happens
on x86-windows, for instance.
As a result, trying to change the contents of the string during
the `python gdb.inferiors()[0].write_memory (addr, str)' results
in the following error:
(gdb) python gdb.inferiors()[0].write_memory (addr, str)
gdb: write target memory, 5 bytes at 0x00403064
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
gdb.MemoryError: Cannot access memory at address 0x403064
Error while executing Python code.
This patch prevents this from happening by declaring str as an
array rather than a pointer.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-inferior.exp: Use gdb_test_no_output instead of
gdb_test when running a test where we expected no output back.
I noticed that the last "maint info breakpoints" test expects the
output to contain:
.*hw watchpoint.*
But some platforms do not have hw watchpoints (for instance, the
sim on erc32 doesn't). So I changed the expected output to accept
either.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: Fix the expected output of
one of the "maint info breakpoints" tests to accept the output
generated on platforms that do not have hardware watchpoints.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: Remove unnecessary call to
clean_restart. Be a little stricter in the expected output
for one of the tests. Fix a typo in one of the comments.

* gdb.python/py-block.exp: Simplify using prepare_for_testing.
