gdb: gdbserver: update ctrl-c handling

A) gdbserver sends SIGINT not to the process, but to the process
group (-signal_pid). But the attached process is not always a
process group leader. If not, "kill (-signal_pid, SIGINT)" returns
error and fails to interrupt the attached process. We cannot interrupt
the process attached with gdbserver who is not a process group leader.

This problem was created by the gdb upstream commit 78708b7c8c
The commit fixed the following case B) bug.
B) We cannot interrupt the process attached with gdbserver whose
main thread exits (pthread_exit()).

Now this patch can solve both A) and B).

++This problem was created by the upstream commit 78708b7c8c
++After applying the commit, it will send SIGINT to the process group(-signal_pid).
++But if we use gdbserver send SIGINT, and the attached process is not a process
++group leader, then the "kill (-signal_pid, SIGINT)" returns error and fails  to
++interrupt the attached process.
