    Adjust coredump-filter.exp to account for NT_FILE note handling

    This commit makes adjustments to coredump-filter.exp to account
    for the fact that NT_FILE file-backed mappings are now available
    when a core file is loaded.  Thus, a test which was expected
    to PASS when a memory region was determined to be unavailable
    (due to no file-backed mappings being available) will now FAIL
    due to those mappings being available from having loaded the
    NT_FILE note.

    I had originally marked the test as XFAIL, but Mihails Strasuns
    suggested a much better approach:

        1) First test that it still works if file is accessible in the
           filesystem.
        2) Temporarily move / rename the file and test that disassembly
           doesn't work anymore.

    That's what this commit implements.

    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

    	* gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Add second
    	non-Private-Shared-Anon-File test.
    	(test_disasm): Rename binfile for test which is expected
    	to fail.
