s/async/non-stop mode/g. All-stop + async doesn't need
it either. This feature was added for non-stop, as a way to
avoid lifting breakpoints from the inferior when stepping over
a breakpoint, otherwise, other running threads could miss them.
No other reason to have it always on other than for more
exposure, I guess. Time to pull the plug?
I'd still like to have a way to enable displaced-stepping
in all-stop mode, as it's very useful for testing.
