 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
