Put the terminal back when a signal ends the mnemonic prompt (closes #91)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

A SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGHUP at the mnemonic prompt killed the tool
with echo still off. The prompt now catches them with signals.Notify
from before echo goes off, and reads the line in a goroutine. When one
arrives it puts the terminal settings back, stops catching, and sends
the tool the same signal again, so the tool is still ended by it (130
for SIGINT in a shell). A signal the tool was started with set to be
ignored stays ignored. A test sends SIGINT at the prompt on a
pseudo-terminal.

Unchanged: the Windows prompt, which uses term.ReadPassword.

At the prompt the terminal's settings are put back as they were first, so echo
