__debug_octave__.m: Use slight more generic terminal on Linux. * __debug_octave__.m: Eliminate unused return value from system(). Remove FIXME note about portable terminal on Linux. Use 'x-terminal-emulator' as terminal default on Linux. Execute system() with "async" option so that Octave and gdb can run separately.
