retrocpugeekandClaude Opus 5 a13a8c8c1f gdb: accept vCont C/S actions carrying any signal
A client that resumes while a signal is pending sends a vCont action of the
form 'C<sig>' (continue and deliver) or 'S<sig>' (step and deliver), e.g.
'vCont;S0f:pa410.1996;c:pa410.-1' -- the exact packet reported in issue
#1377. handle_v matched only 'c'/'C05' and 's'/'S05', so any other signal
fell through to an empty reply and clients aborted the session with
'Invalid remote reply:'.

We do not deliver host signals to the guest, so the signal value carries no
meaning for us: accept any of them and carry the action out as a plain
resume or step, which is what the client asked for. This matters more now
that the stub can stop with SIGINT on an async interrupt, since a client
may well resume from such a stop with 'C02'.

Also stop assuming os.exit_code exists when reporting termination: bare-metal
os layers (QlOsMcu) do not define it, which turns the exit path into an
AttributeError (seen in issue #1276). The underlying MCU interrupt handling
of #1276 is out of scope here.

Add a regression test asserting the '#1377' packet is answered with a
SIGTRAP stop-reply and that a signalled continue runs the guest to
termination; both replies are empty without the fix.

Fixes #1377
