[gdb/testsuite] Use non-capturing parentheses for inferior_exited_re

The inferior_exited_re regexp uses capturing parentheses by default:
...
set inferior_exited_re "(\\\[Inferior \[0-9\]+ \\(.*\\) exited)"
...

The parentheses are there to be able to use the expression as an atom, f.i.,
to have '+' apply to the whole regexp in "${inferior_exited_re}+".

But the capturing is not necessary, and it can be confusing because it's not
obvious in a regexp using "$inferior_exited_re (bla|bli)" that the first
captured expression is in $inferior_exited_re.

Replace by non-capturing parentheses.  If we still want to capture the
expression, we can simply (and more clearly) use "($inferior_exited_re)".

Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.
