It appears that the `doc` command (in `doc.m`) now tries to launch a GUI
documentation browser always, versus only when the GUI is running.  This seems
like it should be a configurable option.

I think a simple example to reference is

```octave
doc ls
```

In version 6.4, this launches a CLI Info browser when running with the
`--no-gui` option.  In Octave version 7.X this launches a Qt-based Info
browser.
