[RFA/doc] GDB remote target waits for a response when detaching.

The documentation of the remote protocol says:

GDB does not check for any response after sending this packet

but this isn't true. remote_detach() calls remote_send(), which calls
getpkt() and signals an error if the result starts with 'E'. This
seems to have been true "forever", or at least back to the beginning
of CVS.

OK to commit this doc change?

* gdb.texinfo (Packets): Change description of 'D' packet to
note that GDB does wait for a response.
