Before this fix, the "exit" command behaved differently
depending on where it was called from:
- "exit" in a telnet session: Session disconnected.
- "exit" in a Tcl session: Empty response sent but the
session remained connected.
- "exit" in a script (outside of Telnet or Tcl): OpenOCD
exited with code 0. Based on the help and documentation
"exit" was apparently not intended for these cases.
What's more, if "exit" is allowed in Tcl scripts,
user may confuse it with the Tcl's native "exit"
command that is not available in OpenOCD (it is
shadowed with this OpenOCD's "exit" command).
This fix makes the behavior of "exit" consistent:
- "exit" in a telnet session: Session disconnected
(no change).
- "exit" in a Tcl session: Session disconnected
(same as for telnet).
- "exit" in a script: Notify the user that "exit"
is deprecated outside of telnet/tcl but
still shut down OpenOCD (to preserve the original
behavior).
Update the documentation to make it very clear to users
when to use "exit" vs. "shutdown".
