Resolve gdbclient.py -r executable from target
gdbclient.py -r allows to provide an executable to be run on the target.
Before this patch the absolute path of the executable had to be
provided. This was inconvenient as the user has to first look up for the
exe on the target before debuging it.
With this patch, gdbclient.py will look for the executable on the
target if an absolute path is not provided.
Test: gdbserver -r ls
