Add a config option for abort() to shutdown the stdio subsystem. This is

mainly to cut down on noise in the NIST/PCTS tests since older POSIX
behavior was to fclose() (and hence fflush()) all open streams.

+	  ANSI/ISO C99 requires abort() to be asyn-signal-safe.  So there was a behavioral
+	  change made in SUSv3.  Previously, abort() was required to have the affect of
