ExperimentalEventHandler: add a shutdown flag

We've observed hangs of Bazel on shutdown with thread stacks indicating
that the cli-update-thread does not exit properly. We don't know why
this is happening, and have no easy way to reproduce.

My best guess is that the interrupt is swallowed somewhere, although I
was unable to pinpoint a specific place where that could happen. As a
defensive mechanism, this change adds a boolean flag that signals to the
CLI thread to shutdown in case the interrupt signal gets lost. This also
helps with a potential race between startUpdateThread and
stopUpdateThread.

Possible fix for #8432.
