    [gdb/testsuite] Fix ERROR in gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp
    
    In PR23888 an error is reported:
    ...
    ERROR: tcl error sourcing watchpoint-unaligned.exp.
    ERROR: expected boolean value but got ""
        while executing
    "if {$wpnum} {
    ...
    
    This presumably happens when:
    - skip_hw_watchpoint_tests returns 0 meaning hw watchpoints are supported
    - gdb fails to set a hw watchpoint and instead sets a sw watchpoint
    
    That particular situation is handled for arm:
    ...
        -re "Watchpoint (\[0-9\]+): .*\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {
            if {[istarget "arm*-*-*"]} {
                untested $test
                set wpnum 0
            }
        }
    ...
    but not for any other targets so wpnum remains "", triggering the ERROR.
    
    Possibly this has been fixed for powerpc by commit 8d4e4d13afb ("gdb Power 9
    add test for HW watchpoint support."), but it's still possible for other
    targets.
    
    Fix this by:
    - initializing wpnum to 0 instead of ""
    - signalling the failure to set a hw watchpoint by a fail
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux, also by adding:
    ...
    gdb_test_no_output "set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0"
    ...
    and verifying that it triggers the fail.
