[SPARK-10001] [CORE] Interrupt tasks in repl with Ctrl+C

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Improve signal handling to allow interrupting running tasks from the REPL (with Ctrl+C).
If no tasks are running or Ctrl+C is pressed twice, the signal is forwarded to the default handler resulting in the usual termination of the application.

This PR is a rewrite of -- and therefore closes #8216 -- as per piaozhexiu's request

## How was this patch tested?
Signal handling is not easily testable therefore no unit tests were added. Nevertheless, the new functionality is implemented in a best-effort approach, soft-failing in case signals aren't available on a specific OS.
