Change the default value of gdb-mi-decode-strings to t (bug#44173)

Browse source 
This is likely to be a more commonly wanted default value today.

* lisp/progmodes/gdb-mi.el (gdb-mi-decode-strings): Change default.
* doc/emacs/building.texi (Source Buffers): Update manual.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.

@vindex gdb-mi-decode-strings
If the file names of the source files are shown with octal escapes,
set the variable @code{gdb-mi-decode-strings} to the appropriate
coding-system, most probably @code{utf-8}. (This is @code{nil} by
default because GDB may emit octal escapes in situations where
decoding is undesirable, and also because the program being debugged
might use an encoding different from the one used to encode non-ASCII
file names on your system.)
By default, source file names and non-ASCII strings in the program
being debugged are decoded using the default coding-system. If you
prefer a different decoding, perhaps because the program being
debugged uses a different character encoding, set the variable
@code{gdb-mi-decode-strings} to the appropriate coding-system, or to
@code{nil} to leave non-ASCII characters as undecoded octal escapes.

*** The default value of gdb-mi-decode-strings is now t.
This means that the default coding-system is now used to decode strings
and source file names from GDB.
