[committed][gdb/testsuite] Disallow single argument in multi_line

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

It's a common mistake of mine to do:
...
set l [list "foo" "bar"]
set re [multi_line $l]
...
and to get "foo bar" while I was expecting "foo\r\nbar", which I get after
doing instead:
...
set re [multi_line {*}$l]
...

Detect this type of mistake by erroring out in multi_line when only one
argument is passed.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom
