gdb/doc: Clarify vCont packet description

Specifically, what happens with multiple actions that could match a
thread, and what happens when we get a vCont action that matches a
thread that was already running.  E.g., what does:

 "vCont;s:2"
 "vCont;s:1;c"

mean for thread 2.

(Thread 2 continues stepping.)
