programs will get a chance to clean up on ^C.

When UserInterrupt is caught by the topmost handler, we now exit the
program via kill(getpid(),SIGINT), which tells the parent process that
we exited as a result of ^C, so the parent can take appropriate action
(it might want to exit too, for example).

One subtlety is that we have to use a weak reference to the ThreadId
for the main thread, so that the signal handler doesn't prevent the
main thread from being subject to deadlock detection.

Fix #2363: getChar cannot be interrupted with -threaded
Now in -threaded mode, instead of just making a blocking call to
read(), we call select() first to make sure the read() won't block,
and if it would block, then we use threadWaitRead.

The idea is that the current thread must be interruptible while it
blocks.  This is a little slower than before, but the overhead only
applies to blocking Handles (stdin/stdout/stderr, and those created by
System.Process).
