shutdown: when dying, do not install/restore a handler for Ctrl+C

First, we don't want the writing of an emergency file to be interrupted
by the user.  But more important: the routine for restoring the handler
also disables SIGINT, which would leave the terminal with a non-working
Ctrl+C.

Saving an emergency file calls write_file() in a unique manner: with
thefile == NULL, fullbuffer == FALSE (even though the entire buffer
will be saved, of course) and tmp == TRUE (even though it is not a
temporary file, as it will persist after nano exits).  But in fact
we want the handler for Ctrl+C installed only for normal files, not
for temporary files and not for emergency files -- the user should
not be able to interrupt the writing of those.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61237.

Bug existed since version 4.3, commit 8550c6bd.
