Bug report

Bug description:

I'm bootstrapping Python 3.13a1 in Fedora Linux.
In my environment I've got gdb built without Python. Now I want to build full Python and run its tests during the RPM build.

What happens
Tests from package test_gdb fail due to uncaught exception.

What should happen
Tests should be marked as skipped and not executed at all.

Traceback

I believe the refactoring done in #110026 has introduced a regression. run_gdb() used to always return a tuple (stdout, stderr), but now it checks exitcode and raises an exception in case it's not what was expected. check_usable_gdb() consumes the values returned from run_gdb() and only then marks tests as skipped, but in this case the exception breaks the test run even before this can happen.

I wrote PR #110998 to fix test_gdb. I'm not sure of my fix. I tried to write a fake gdb which behaves as gdb, writes Python scripting is not supported in this copy of GDB. to stderr. My mock was too different from gdb and so I failed to test my fix.
