Subject: [ABRT PATCH 4/5] gdb: disable loading of auto-loaded files

https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Auto_002dloading.html

There are two main reasons for doing so:
1. we cannot trust anybody
  - the auto-loaded file may change the output format
  - security?
2. bugs in such a files (#817)
