PR gdb/20604 - fix "quit" when an invalid expression is used
This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24.
