Log Message:
gdb: Disable emoji in output by default.

NetBSD users may be more likely than others to be using a physical
DEC VT420 as their console, or at the very least the standard x86
BIOS text console while debugging the system. Both of these would
rather display a garbled mess than an emoji.

Besides, this is the system debugger, so we want to keep things
usable in a minimal environment.

Users can still re-enable emoji output with "set style emoji on"
if they are using kalacrittyology7 with an utf-8 locale. Or uxterm
with symbola-ttf installed (monochrome only).

PR bin/60497 gdb prints garbled gibberish in an attempt to show
cutesy emoji
