[binutils-gdb] [gdb] Add 'Concept Index' entry '&' for background execution

    [gdb] Add 'Concept Index' entry '&' for background execution
    
    GDB's execution commands have a foreground and background variant: f.i.,
    there's 'continue' and 'continue&', and both are listed individually in the
    'Command, Variable, and Function Index'.  But the '&' is not listed in the
    'Concept Index' as being connected with the concept background execution.
    
    This patch adds an '&' in the 'Concept Index':
    ...
     * $_, $__, and value history:            Memory.             (line  119)
    +* &, background execution of commands:   Background Execution.
    +                                                             (line   16)
     * --annotate:                            Mode Options.       (line  121)
    ...
    pointing to this line in 'Background Execution':
    ...
       To specify background execution, add a '&' to the command.
    ...
    
    Build on x86_64.
