Canceling pagination caused by execution command from command line aborts readline/gdb

This fixes:

 $ ./gdb program -ex "set height 2" -ex "start"
 ...
 Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads...done.
 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---^CQuit  << ctrl-c triggers a Quit

 *type something*
 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
 Aborted
 $

Usually, if an error propagates all the way to the top level, we'll
re-enable stdin, in case the command that was running was a
synchronous command.  That's done in the event loop's actual loop
(event-loop.c:start_event_loop).  However, if a foreground execution
command is run before the event loop starts and throws, nothing is
presently reenabling stdin, which leaves sync_execution set.

When we do start the event loop, because sync_execution is still
(mistakenly) set, display_gdb_prompt removes the readline input
callback, even though stdin is registered in the event loop.  Any
input from here on results in readline aborting.

Such commands are run through catch_command_errors,
catch_command_errors_const, so add the tweak there.
