What happens:
Moira still doesn't allow the user to abort many of the commands.
Sometimes, if you type ^C when prompted for input, it goes back to the
"Command:" prompt, but other times it asked if the user really wants
to exit. In the latter case, the only two choices are: 1 - exit Moira
and abort the current request, or 2 - complete the current request.
What should happen:
It should be possible to abort any operation that can be aborted
safely, without exiting the moira program. (I can't think of any that
can't, since all two-step functions I can think of do a get_ request
in the first step, then make changes atomically.)
Reproduce by:
In moira, choose 2 (filesys)
In Filesystem Menu, choose 3 (change)
Give a valid filsys name
When prompted for the new name, type ^C
