[gdb] Handle pending ^C after rl_callback_read_char

In completion tests in various test-cases, we've been running into these
"clearing input line" timeouts:
...
(gdb) $cmd^GPASS: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd"
FAIL: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd" (clearing input line) (timeout)
...
where $cmd == "maintenance selftest name_that_does_not_exist".

AFAIU, the following scenario happens:
- expect sends "$cmd\t"
- gdb detects the stdin event, and calls rl_callback_read_char until it
  comes to handle \t
- readline interprets the \t as completion, tries to complete, fails to do so,
  outputs a bell (^G)
- expect sees the bell, and proceeds to send ^C
- readline is still in the call to rl_callback_read_char, and stores the
  signal in _rl_caught_signal
- readline returns from the call to rl_callback_read_char, without having
  handled _rl_caught_signal
- gdb goes to wait for the next event
- expect times out waiting for "Quit", the expected reaction for ^C

Fix this by handling pending signals after each call to rl_callback_read_char.

The fix is only available for readline 8.x, if --with-system-readline provides
an older version, then the fix is disabled due to missing function
rl_check_signals.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
