Rollup merge of rust-lang#49728 - japaric:no-debug_gdb_scripts, r=alexcrichton

add emit_debug_gdb_scripts target option and ..

set it to false for no-std targets like ARM Cortex-M and MSP430. For the rationale of this change see the comment in thumb_base.rs

this is a temporary workaround until rust-lang#44993 is implemented

r? @alexcrichton or @michaelwoerister
