    Fix DAP 'disconnect' implementation
    
    gdb's implementation of the DAP 'disconnect' request was incorrect in
    a few ways.
    
    First, the 'terminateDebuggee' field is optional, and has a special
    meaning when not supplied: it should do whatever the default is.
    
    Second, if the inferior was attached, it should detach rather than
    terminate by default.
    
    Finally, if the inferior was not started at all, it seems reasonable
    for this request to simply succeed silently -- currently it returns
    "success: false" with the reason being that the inferior isn't
    running.
