libutil: remove the interrupt-blocking code

The interrupt-blocking code was originally introduced 20 years ago so that
trying to log an error message does not result in an interrupt exception being
thrown and then going unhandled (c8d3882cdc).
However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more
(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for
example in the next line entered into the repl.

Closes: lix-project/lix#296

+synopsis: Interrupting builds in the REPL works more than once
+cls: 1097
+---
+
+Builds in the REPL can be interrupted by pressing Ctrl+C.
+Previously, this only worked once per REPL session; further attempts would be ignored.
+This issue is now fixed, so that builds can be canceled consistently.
