Binutils and GDB are now sourced from the same branch (old: arc-2025.09)
of the binutils-gdb repository, eliminating the need for a separate
GDB branch (old: arc-2025.09-gdb).

Both tools will still be built separately to allow testing of separate
versions of each tool independently.

Update all branches to arc-2026.03.

@luismgsilva I am not sure that it's a good approach in our case. We will have to divide binutils-gdb before the release and we will need an ability to build Binutils and GDB from different branches.

We can use --with-{binutils,gdb}-src=<> during configure to select the repository/branch for each.
I don't think it makes sense to clone the repository twice during development.
