    [gdb] Make po/gdbtext shellcheck-clean
    
    Make po/gdbtext shellcheck-clean.
    
    First:
    - add missing quotes in a few places
    - do "find *" -> "find -- *"
    
    Then, restructure the code into two functions, leaving just:
    ...
    find_files "$@" \
        | run_xgettext "$@"
    ...
    and fix:
    ...
    In gdb/po/gdbtext line 38:
        ${__directories} \
        ^--------------^ SC2086 (info): Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
    ...
    by eliminating the variable and using "set --" [1] instead.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux by running make po/gdb.pot and comparing po/gdb.pot
    with and without the patch.
    
    Also add an entry in gdb/.gitattributes to ensure whitespace errors are detected.
