gst-validate-launcher: let gdb handle SIGINT itself

Otherwise both gdb and gst-validate-launcher will react to ^C at the
same time, gdb will be killed by SIGHUP (because gst-validate-launcher
quitted in consequence of the ^C) and the terminal state will be left
garbled because readline inside gdb had disabled echo.
