tap_ctrl_rbb.c: don't default to VM shutdown on quit (Q) command #271

Description

@luismarques

The OpenOCD BitBang protocol says:

An additional function, quit, is added to the remote_bitbang interface to
indicate there will be no more requests and the connection with the remote
driver should be closed.

I see no indication that such quit command should perform a target shutdown. It seems to only be intended to perform a connection shutdown (i.e., the "quit" refers to OpenOCD quitting, not the target / VM). Therefore, at least by default, the RBB shouldn't shutdown the VM. Let's change the "quit" property (controlling enable_quit) to default to false, once the scripts that depend on that have been properly updated.
