OK.  For some reason I was (mistakenly) thinking mi_gdb_start
started the inferior.

Attached below.  I've added [board_info gdb_protocol] == "async" since
"target async" works after Vladimir's changes.

The tests for async output of CLI commands are really motivated by my interest
in such commands being entered from the GUD buffer in Emacs.  There really
should be tests which have a general relevance to async mode, e.g., interrupt
(not documented in the manual) or -exec-interrupt but this would require a
different executable for the tests.
