Recommended update for gdb

The GNU Debugger GDB was updated to the 8.0.1 release, bringing
lots of features and bugfixes.

library) on x86_64 and i686 for improved tracing support
on Intel CPUs. [bsc#985550]

- Rebase to 8.0.1 release (fixing PR21886, PR22046)

- Updated libstdc++ pretty printers to gdb-libstdc++-v3-python-7.1.1-20170526.tar.bz2 .

- Add support for zSeries z14 specific features [fate#321514, bsc#1062315, fate#322272, bsc#1062318]
