I think we expect that behavior.  IMO, it's something like 'rndc stop'
vs Ctl-C.  While the most sophisticated way of shutdown is 'rndc
stop', we still allow Ctl-C as an alternative and users would expect
it to work.

We should also note that Ctl-C only works if the processes are working
foreground.  Sending a SIGTERM by kill(1) or other tools should work,
but would be less common for multi-process systems like BIND 10.  So
we'll need the shutdown command, too.
