vty telnet: consistently never change nodes upon CTRL-C
Remove any special node exiting from the VTY CTRL-C handling. From a curious VTY transcript test glitch, I noticed weird behavior by the VTY telnet shell: usually, when the user hits CTRL-C, that means to cancel the current command line and present a fresh, clean prompt. However, only on the CONFIG_NODE and CFG_LOG_NODE, a CTRL-C also exits the current node and moves up by one level. This behavior is unexplainable and makes zero sense. No other nodes exit on CTRL-C: - on the ENABLE node, a CTRL-C stays on the ENABLE_NODE and doesn't exit to the VIEW_NODE. - any sub-nodes of the CONFIG_NODE stay unchanged, e.g. 'network' or 'bts' / 'trx', etc. There is no apparent special meaning of CTRL-C on CONFIG_NODE nor CFG_LOG_NODE to justify this odd choice. Particularly, the vty transcript tests using osmo_verify_transcript_vty.py rely on sending CTRL-C to clear the command prompt, so that we can properly test sending '?' to the VTY during transcripts. In a live session, a '?' prints available options and then updates the prompt with identical command arguments. In a transcript test, that doesn't make sense, because each time the transcript writes out a new command to run. Consider e.g. a transcript test like: tdef_vty_test(config)# timer ? tea Tea time test Test timers software Typical software development cycle tdef_vty_test(config)# timer tea ? [TNNNN] T-number, optionally preceded by 't' or 'T'. To be able to issue a fresh command after '?', osmo_verify_transcript_vty.py explicitly sends a CTRL-C to clear the command buffer. Hence there we rely on predictable behavior of CTRL-C. More particularly, the upcoming osmo_tdef_vty transcript tests are apparently the first that want to test '?' behavior on the CONFIG_NODE's root level and fall on their face, because of the implicit exit that happens only there.
