evdev: On sudden termination, make sure keyboard isn't lost (thanks, Tadek!)
"In release 2.0.6, when Linux evdev keyboard support has been moved to a
separate source file, a feature was added to disable normal keyboard event
processing to prevent "spilling" keystrokes to background virtual console.
This feature has one unpleasant side effect: if application fails to call
`SDL_Exit` before termination or crashes with fatal signal, console is left
in unusable state with keyboard not working and no possibility to switch
virtual console. If user has a chance, he can login remotely and restore
keyboard with `kbd_mode`, otherwise the only option is to reboot the machine.
This patch fixes that problem by intercepting fatal signals (with `sigaction`)
and process termination (with `atexit`), to restore keyboard state, if it
wasn't properly restored with `SDL_Exit`.
The function registered with `atexit` also restores original signal handlers,
to prevent leaving invalid handlers after SDL library is unloaded, if it was
loaded dynamically with `dlopen`.
No signal handlers or `atexit` function are installed if SDL boolean hint
`SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS` is `SDL_TRUE`.
Additionally, if environment variable `SDL_INPUT_LINUX_KEEP_KBD` exists,
keyboard initialization function completely skips disabling keyboard. This
can be useful for debugging."
Fixes Bugzilla #4193.
