Since --gdb has recently been added to meson_options.txt, the help
text shows up twice in the output of "./configure --help":
$ ./configure --help | grep gdb
--gdb=GDB-path gdb to use for gdbstub tests [/usr/bin/gdb]
--gdb=VALUE Path to GDB
As the probed value is of interest we want to keep the configure text
so make meson-buildoptions able to handle deferring to configure.
Fixes: b46b3818cf8 ("tests/functional: Provide GDB to the functional tests")
