Details:

Guys, thank you very much for the recent bug fix for CTRL-C closing out the
desktop (#49609). Really nice sleuthing.

I have one request for CTRL-C behaviour. Would it be possible to prevent the
default behaviour of aborting out of octave on the 3rd CTRL-C? Sometimes you
want to abandon a long calculation and oops, pressed it too many times, the
octave processes is killed.

One can always kill the octave process from the OS if necessary, but usually
(in fact, always) I do not want to abort octave using CTRL-C.

Can it be made an option for CTRL-C to return just to the octave prompt
regardless of number of keypresses?
