Split ignoreException to avoid suppressing CTRL-C

This splits `ignoreException` into `ignoreExceptionExceptInterrupt`
(which ignores all exceptions except `Interrupt`, which indicates a
SIGINT/CTRL-C) and `ignoreExceptionInDestructor` (which ignores all
exceptions, so that destructors do not throw exceptions).

This prevents many cases where Nix ignores CTRL-C entirely.
