Avoid crash when calling warning too early

I noticed that if you pass the name of an existing file (not a
directory) as the argument to --data-directory, gdb will crash:

    $ ./gdb -nx  --data-directory  ./gdb
    ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:590:56: runtime error: member call on null pointer of type 'struct target_ops'

This was later reported as PR gdb/23838.

This happens because warning ends up calling
target_supports_terminal_ours, which calls current_top_target, which
returns nullptr this early.

This fixes the problem by handling this case specially in
target_supports_terminal_ours.  I also changed
target_supports_terminal_ours to return bool.
