README, gdbserver/README: consistent spelling of `GDB' and `GDBserver'


The README files have some inconsistency in the spelling of
GDB vs gdb GDBserver vs Gdbserver vs GDBserver.  This patches
makes them all consistent.

According to:

 $ head -n2 gdbserver/README
                   README for GDBserver & GDBreplay
                    by Stu Grossman and Fred Fish

"GDBserver" is supposedly the original and official spelling,
not "gdbserver".

Okay?
