Pedro Alves 6c4486e63f PR gdb/17471: Repeating a background command makes it foreground
When we repeat a command, by just pressing <ret>, the input from the
previous command is reused for the new command invocation.

When an execution command strips the "&" out of its incoming argument
string, to detect background execution, we poke a '\0' directly to the
incoming argument string.

Combine both, and a repeat of a background command loses the "&".

This is actually only visible if args other than "&" are specified
(e.g., "c 1&" or "next 2&" or "c -a&"), as in the special case of "&"
alone (e.g. "c&") doesn't actually clobber the incoming string.

Fix this by making strip_bg_char return a new string instead of poking
a hole in the input string.

New test included.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

	PR gdb/17471
	* infcmd.c (strip_bg_char): Change prototype and rewrite.  Now
	returns a copy of the input.
	(run_command_1, continue_command, step_1, jump_command)
	(signal_command, until_command, advance_command, finish_command)
	(attach_command): Adjust and install a cleanup to free the
	stripped args.
