Many people complain on IRC about the console client and that it does
not catch the signals.  So when you send a SIGTERM signal to the
console it does not correctly clean up its state.  The same is true
for the SIGINT signal.

Why not add SIGQUIT too?

Or SIGHUP?  I'm not sure what is correct.

SIGQUIT is meant to terminate and dump core, so that core is inspected for errors. Perhaps we don't want to clean up drivers' state?

SIGHUP is for terminal hang-up, so we want to clean up state.

Looking at the list of signals, these 4 seems to be the only user-controlled signals of interest.
