That patch removed it from the git repo, mirroring how CVS modules
worked.  In CVS, if you checkout the "gdb" module, you don't get
the gdbtk dirs, but if you checkout the insight module instead, you
get everything gdb, plus the insight bits: src/gdb/gdbtk subdir,
src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/, and maybe other bits.

So removing the testsuite support for gdbtk doesn't seem like
the right thing to do.  Particularly since we still have the
gdbtk bits in gdb/configure.ac.  IOW, I don't see how
src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/ not being around is different
from src/gdb/gdbtk/ not being around.  We should either keep
all support for gdbtk, or remove all of it.
