gh-120221: Support KeyboardInterrupt in asyncio REPL (#123795)

This switches the main pyrepl event loop to always be non-blocking so that it
can listen to incoming interruptions from other threads.

This also resolves invalid display of exceptions from other threads
(gh-123178).

This also fixes freezes with pasting and an active input hook.
