This PR adds support for an abort controller to the base Prompts class

This allows folks to programmatically cancel prompts after they've started, like with a timeout

const shouldContinue = await confirm({
  message: 'This message will self destruct in 5 seconds',
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(3000),
});

or maybe you have a long automated process to get an answer but the user can cut in with their answer at any time, and, once one answer is picked we should cancel the other process

const abortController = new AbortController()

const projectType = await Promise.race([
  detectSystemSettings({
    signal: abortController.signal
  }),
  select({
    message: 'Pick a project type.',
    options: [
      { value: 'ts', label: 'TypeScript' },
      { value: 'js', label: 'JavaScript' },
      { value: 'coffee', label: 'CoffeeScript', hint: 'oh no'},
    ],
     signal: abortController.signal,
  });
  
abortController.abort()

Lots of opportunity here, abort controllers are amazing
