mtest: allow quickly interrupting the test run
The new behavior of interrupting the longest running test with Ctrl-C is useful
when tests hang, but not when the run is completely broken for some reason.
Psychology tells us that the user will compulsively spam Ctrl-C in this case,
so exit if three Ctrl-C's are detected within a second.
