Fix signal handling on Unix systems
This removes the the signal handling machinery in tty::unix, and
replaces it with functionality from signal-hook, which should be more
robust. Signals caught by signal-hook wake up the existing I/O event
loop, which then delegates back to the PTY to handle them.
In particular, this allows `SIGCHLD` (i.e. child process exits) to shut
down the terminal promptly, instead of sometimes leaving the window
lingering.
Fixes #915.
Fixes #1276.
Fixes #1313.
As a side effect, this fixes a very rare bug on Linux, where a `read`
from the PTY on the master side would sometimes "fail" with `EIO` if the
child closed the client side at a particular moment. This was subject to
a race condition, and was very difficult to trigger in practice.
