Remove args from target detach

I was looking into adding a parameter to target_detach, and was
wondering what the args parameter was.  It seems like in the distant
past, it was possible to specify a signal number when detaching.  That
signal was injected in the process before it was detached.  There is an
example of code handling this in linux_nat_detach.  With today's GDB, I
can't get this to work.  Doing "detach 15" (15 == SIGTERM) doesn't work,
because detach is a prefix command and doesn't recognize the sub-command
15.  Doing "detach inferiors 15" doesn't work because it expects a list
of inferior id to detach.  Therefore, I don't think there's a way of
invoking detach_command with a non-NULL args.  I also didn't find any
documentation related to this feature.

I assume that this feature stopped working when detach was made a prefix
command, which is in f73adfeb8bae36885e6ea248d12223ab0d5eb9cb (sorry,
there's no commit title) from 2006.  Given that this feature was broken
for such a long time and we haven't heard anything (AFAIK, I did not
find any related bug), I think it's safe to remove it, as well as the
args parameter to target_detach.  If someone wants to re-introduce it, I
would suggest rethinking the user interface, and in particular would
suggest using signal name instead of numbers.

I tried to fix all the impacted code, but I might have forgotten some
spots.  It shouldn't be hard to fix if that's the case.  I also couldn't
build-test everything I changed, especially the nto and solaris stuff.
