Again, please factor this out into a separate patch so that qAttached
can be merged independently (and we stop warning the gdb users
incorrectly about killing the target on quit).

This will still trigger additional discussions as it's still a new
top-level command line switch.

I think it is possible to merge chardev-unrelated options into the
parameter that -gdb takes and filter them out before handing the rest
over to the chardev layer.
