Capture OS signals during prompts

See original GitHub issue

I have an application that needs to capture and handle OS signals (SIGINT), but it seems like inputs and Select has hardcoded logic for control+c, ending with a Deno.exit(0). I would like to be able to tell cliffy to not exit immediately, but to give me control to properly clean things up before exiting. I’d be up for making a PR for any solution that is of interest. One idea is to offer a callback option.

@c4spar I’ve opened another issue https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/8343 that would help solve this. If we could use another TTY mode that forwards keystrokes, but handles interrupts/suspend, the whole problem disappears.
