[issue37382] Improve conditional check for test_gdb

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer <J.Demeyer at UGent.be>:

Many tests in test_gdb are not run if python_is_optimized() is true. However, it's not entirely clear why we have this condition. For example, on my system, with the default CPython configuration, Python *is* optimized but still all gdb tests pass if I artificially enable them.

Maybe we need debug symbols, but the existence of debug symbols and optimization are orthogonal.
