trap signals for "-serial mon:stdio"
With mon:stdio you can exit the VM by switching to the monitor and
sending the "quit" command. It is then useful to pass Ctrl-C to the
VM instead of exiting.
This in turn lets us stop tying the default signal handling behavior
to -nographic, removing gratuitous differences between "-display none"
and "-nographic".
This patch changes behavior for "-display none -serial mon:stdio", as
expected, but not for "-display none -serial stdio".
