The `auxData` field is not exposed to JavaScript, as DevTools uses it
for its `isDefault` parameter, which is implemented faithfully,
contributing to the nice indentation in the context selection panel.
Without the indentation, when `Target` domain gets implemented (along
with a single Inspector for cluster) in #16627, subprocesses and VM
contexts will be mixed up, causing confusion.

- Adds the `breakEvalOnSigint` option to `vm.runIn(This)Context`.
This uses a watchdog thread to wait for SIGINT and generally works
just like the existing `timeout` option.
- Adds a method to the existing timer-based watchdog to check if it
stopped regularly or by running into the timeout. This is used to
tell a SIGINT abort from a timer-based one.
- Adds (internal) `process._{start,stop}SigintWatchdog` methods to
start/stop the watchdog thread used by the above option manually.
This will be used in the REPL to set up SIGINT handling before
entering terminal raw mode, so that there is no time window in
which Ctrl+C fully aborts the process.

The intention behind is to present the user a way to
execute code in a vm context. The current API doesn't
allow this out-of-the-box, since it is neither passing a require
function nor creating context with one.
The missing docs for this behaviour have produced a number of
Q&A items and have also been discussed in the node-archive repo.
In both cases there was no real canonical answer.
