[7/8] Remove readline hack from gdb_select

  As discussed on gdb-patches, this removes the readline hack from the
mingw-hdep.c version of gdb_select.  It's believed that this is not
needed any more.

Thanks, I did this.

Also, Christian Biesinger managed to build this branch on Windows and
try it, which is very good news.

Yep, it worked fine (up/down arrow worked, Ctrl+R worked).

For reference, I compiled in cygwin but with mingw, using:
 ../configure --disable-binutils --disable-gas --disable-gold
--disable-gprof --disable-ld --disable-werror --disable-nls

I had to copy libwinpthread-1.dll to out/gdb.
