    [gdb/testsuite] Handle PAC marker

    On aarch64-linux, I run into:
    ...
    FAIL: gdb.base/annota1.exp: backtrace from shlibrary (timeout)
    ...
    due to the PAC marker showing up:
    ...
    ^Z^Zframe-address^M
    0x000000000041025c [PAC]^M
    ^Z^Zframe-address-end^M
    ...

    In the docs the marker is documented as follows:
    ...
    When GDB is debugging the AArch64 architecture, and the program is using
the
    v8.3-A feature Pointer Authentication (PAC), then whenever the link
register
    $lr is pointing to an PAC function its value will be masked.  When GDB
prints
    a backtrace, any addresses that required unmasking will be postfixed with
the
    marker [PAC].  When using the MI, this is printed as part of the addr_flags
    field.
    ...

    Update the test-case to allow the PAC marker.

    Likewise in a few other test-cases.

    While we're at it, rewrite the affected pattern pat_begin in annota1.exp
into
    a more readable form.  Likewise for the corresponding pat_end.

    Tested on aarch64-linux.
