Message 94764 - Python tracker

Currently, pressing Ctrl-C in pdb will terminate the program and throw
the user into post-mortem debugging.

Other debuggers (e.g gdb and pydb) treat Ctrl-C differently: Ctrl-C only
stops the program and the user can resume it if needed. 

I believe current pdb behavior is user-unfriendly (as wanting to stop
and then resume the execution is a very common use case which is not
supported by pdb at all (I think)).


The attached patch changes pdb's Ctrl-C behavior to match
gdb's: Ctrl-C will stop the program and the user can resume the
execution later.
