[DOC] Interrupt when program is stopped
This patch changes the document that interrupt (ctrl-c) is not ignored
when the program is stopped.
When the interrupt was supported in remote target, people thought interrupt
is meaningless when the program is stopped. See
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00349.html
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-11/msg00307.html
recently we find it is hard to preserve this feature "ignore interrupt
while program is stopped" when we fix some other bugs. See
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00039.html
so we think we can go to the simpler approach "not ignoring ctrl-c when
program is stopped". As a result, we tweak the documentation here.

* gdb.texinfo (Interrupts): Update the document on handling
interrupt when program is stopped.
