Description

Right now if you hit control-c, suricata-update will exit (as expected) but display a traceback of what was currently being executed. This could be made more friendly by catching the "KeyboardInterrupt" and simply displaying a message like:

Program interrupted by keyboard, aborting.

But still exit with an error code 1.
