[gdb/testsuite] Fix use of fail in gdb_cmd_file

When building gdb using this patch:
...
 static void
 file_command (const char *arg, int from_tty)
 {
+  gdb_assert (0);
...
and running the testsuite, we run into:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp ...
PASS: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: compilation foo.adb
FAIL: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: (outputs/gdb.ada/O2_float_param/foo) \
  (GDB internal error)
PATH: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: (outputs/gdb.ada/O2_float_param/foo) \
  (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: frame
...

The FAIL detecting the GDB internal error is generated by this clause in
gdb_file_cmd:
...
       -re "A problem internal to GDB has been detected" {
           fail "($arg) (GDB internal error)"
           gdb_internal_error_resync
           return -1
       }
...

The fail message has no text outside parenthesis, and could be considered
empty.  Also, it's the only clause in the gdb_expect that uses fail, the
rest uses perror.

Fix this by replacing the fail by perror, such that we have:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp ...
PASS: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: compilation foo.adb
ERROR: Couldn't load outputs/gdb.ada/O2_float_param/foo into \
  gdb (GDB internal error).
UNRESOLVED: gdb.ada/O2_float_param.exp: frame
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.
