Avoid readline conflicts in pexpect
In some cases, sensitive to readline version and the user's environment, gdb might emit escape codes while run under python's pexpect (i.e. testing pretty printers). This patch, suggested by Jan, helps isolate the test from the user's environment. Tested on RHEL 7 x86_64 with DTS 7 and EPEL, which is one magic combination of components that triggers this bug.
