bug#21162: adapting octave-inf.el to Octave 4

["Francesco Potortì" <pot@gnu.org>]

The following patch does two things:

1) it removes the --no-line-editing option when calling the Octave
   process, for reasons that I explained in my previous bug report about
   octave-inf.el

2) it adds the --no-gui option when calling Octave if its version is
   different from 3: this is needed because the last (and future,
   probably) Octave versions launch a GUI by default
