Doing:
gdb --pid=PID -ex run
Results in GDB getting a SIGTTIN, and thus ending stopped. That's
usually indicative of a missing target_terminal_ours call.
E.g., from the PR:
$ sleep 1h & p=$!; sleep 0.1; gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
[1] 28263
[1] Killed sleep 1h
[2]+ Stopped gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
The workaround is doing:
gdb -ex "attach $PID" -ex "run"
instead of
gdb [-p] $PID -ex "run"
With the former, gdb waits for the attach command to complete before
moving on to the "run" command, because the interpreter is in sync
mode at this point, within execute_command. But for the latter,
attach_command is called directly from captured_main, and thus misses
that waiting. IOW, "run" is running before the attach continuation
has run, before the program stops and attach completes. The broken
terminal settings are just one symptom of that. Any command that
queries or requires input results in the same.
The fix is to wait in catch_command_errors (which is specific to
main.c nowadays), just like we wait in execute_command.

This simplifies the .gdbinit filename selection logic.
We have a GDBINIT_FILENAME define that supposedly configurations would
override, but none do so. Instead, the only configuration that wants
a different file name instead of ".gdbinit", djgpp, does a strcpy over
the gdbinit global array. This means the array needs to be sized, and
the code that does that is doing the usual
'PATH_MAX/FILENAME_MAX/fallback constant/etc.' mess.
Instead of all that, it's much simpler to have configure specificy the
.gdbinit filename. As bonus, we can then make the "gdbinit" global
array const.
