    [gdb/testsuite] Consume output asap in gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp
    
    With test-case gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp we see:
    ...
    (gdb) PASS: multi-ui-errors.exp: main UI, prompt after gdbserver dies
    continue^M
    Continuing.^M
    echo^M
    (gdb) PASS: multi-ui-errors.exp: extra UI, prompt after gdbserver dies
    ...
    
    The continue is issued earlier in the test-case, but the output has not been
    consumed, which makes it show up much later.
    
    Consume the continue output asap, to make it clear when the continue is issued:
    ...
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: connect to gdbserver
    continue^M
    Continuing.^M
    PASS: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: continue - extra UI
    ...
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
