System Interrupt Handlers

Some of the signals (interrupts) are handler by built-in predicates halt/0, default/0, abort/0 and true/0, others have special handlers:

interrupt_prolog/0
asks the user what to do - abort, start a break level, debug, continue or exit.

it_handler/0
only prints the signal number to the error stream.

it_overflow/0
prints the message "Segmentation violation - maybe machine stack overflow" and makes a warm restart.

it_reset/0
makes a warm restart.
