Bug fixes

• Fix a path issue related to make distcheck.
  (9034255, #242)
  (Anton Lindqvist)

• Do not reset the selection on redraw.
  (58c5b46, #221)
  (Anton Lindqvist, Jenz Guenther)

• Explicitly handle Ctrl-{C,Z} control characters.
  The previous SIGINT handler was broken since it invokes functions that are
  not considered asynchronous safe.
  Instead,
  do not turn control characters into signal but instead handle the relevant
  ones.
  A pleasant side-effect is that suspend/resumes now behaves correctly.
