    [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.python/py-section-script.exp with older objdump
    
    On AlmaLinux 9.8 ppc64le with objdump 2.35.2 I run into:
    ...
    ERROR: tcl error sourcing gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-section-script.exp.
    ERROR: tcl error code CHILDSTATUS 3614626 1
    ERROR: objdump: unrecognized option '--decompress'
    ...
    
    Fix this by using remote_exec instead of exec, and checking the result.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux.
