gdb/doc: Remove mention of vCont's default actions
Discussion with qemu folks suggests that the vCont description could
be even simpler and clearer. Given we now say:
For each inferior thread, the leftmost action with a matching
thread-id is applied.
There's really no need to even talk about "default" actions, which
raises doubts about whether "default" is special in some way (it's
not).
