When GDB is waiting trying to connect to a remote target and it receives
a SIGWINCH (terminal gets resized), the blocking system call gets
interrupted and we abort.
For example, I connect to some port (on which nothing listens):
(gdb) tar rem :1234
... GDB blocks here, resize the terminal ...
:1234: Interrupted system call.
The backtrace where GDB is blocked while waiting for the connection to
establish is:

Fix that by using interruptible_select in wait_for_connect, instead of
gdb_select. Resizing the terminal now no longer aborts the connection.
It is still possible to interrupt the connection using ctrl-c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ser-tcp.c (wait_for_connect): Use interruptible_select instead
of gdb_select.
