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.
