[PATCH] Fix emacsclient's handling of SIGCONT.

[Andreas Amann]

* emacsclient.c (handle_sigcont):  previously it was not possible
to run emacsclient in the background using "bg", because SIGCONT
was blocked in this case.  Now SIGCONT is only blocked if the
Emacs frame is opened on the current terminal.
---

There is an annoying problem with backgrounding of emacsclient
processes. 
To illustrate the problem, do the following:

>emacs -Q -f server-start &
[1] xxxPID1xxx
>emacsclient -c filename
Waiting for Emacs...^Z (press control-z)
[2]+  Stopped                 emacsclient -c filename
>bg
[2]+ emacsclient -c ~/.bashrc &

[2]+  Stopped                 emacsclient -c ~/.bashrc

At this point, emacsclient is stopped and not running in the background
as it should after receiving the SIGCONT signal through "bg". We can
still go to the second emacs frame showing "filename", finish editing
the file and leave the frame with C-x #.  After this, the emacsclient is
stalled in the "Stopped" state, and does not exit as it should.  

It will only exit after issuing
>fg

The attached patch fixes this by only stopping emacsclient, if the emacs
frame is opened in the current terminal.
