Phillip Wood f7da756566 terminal: pop signal handler when terminal is restored
When disable_bits() changes the terminal attributes it uses
sigchain_push_common() to restore the terminal if a signal is received
before restore_term() is called. However there is no corresponding
call to sigchain_pop_common() when the settings are restored so the
signal handler is left on the sigchain stack. This leaves the stack
unbalanced so code such as

sigchain_push_common(my_handler);
...
read_key_without_echo(...);
...
sigchain_pop_common();

pops the handler pushed by disable_bits() rather than the one it
intended to. Additionally "git add -p" changes the terminal settings
every time it reads a key press so the stack can grow significantly.

In order to fix this save_term() now sets up the signal handler so
restore_term() can unconditionally call sigchain_pop_common(). There
are no callers of save_term() outside of terminal.c as the only
external caller was removed by e3f7e01b50 ("Revert "editor: save and
reset terminal after calling EDITOR"", 2021-11-22). Any future callers
of save_term() should benefit from having the signal handler set up
for them.
