synopsis: Interrupting builds in the REPL works more than once

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.
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 (c8d3882cdc8f9e22c58af285c1996265c1af75d5). However, the logging code does not check for interrupts any more (054be5025762c5e1c7e853c4fa5d7eed8da1727f), so this reasoning is no longer applicable.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: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/296 Change-Id: I48253f5f4272e75001148c13046e709ef5427fbd 2024-05-11 10:11:43 +00:00			`---`
