Handle KEY_RESIZE events (where defined) in a simple manner
...
Unfortunately, the implementation of Curses (even Ncurses) requires that
to truely handle resizing, one must destroy and recreate every window
(and, of course, repaint it)--a lot of work that is not done at this
time.

Rework the signal handler
...
Rework the signal handler to be somewhat more unsafe, but conceptually
cleaner, in operation. It now ends the use of Curses, then reraises the
signal. Remove almost all references to abort_game.

Add a signal handler for SIGINT and SIGTERM

Add a signal handler for SIGINT and SIGTERM, as well as sprinklings of
checks to abort_game. Although Ncurses DOES define handlers for SIGINT
and SIGTERM, they do not always seem to work correctly under many
operating systems.
