Get rid of shutdown.cpp/shutdown.h, use SignalInterrupt directly

This change is mostly a refectoring that removes some code and gets rid of an
unnecessary layer of indirection after bitcoin#27861

But it is not a pure refactoring since StartShutdown, AbortShutdown, and
WaitForShutdown functions used to abort on failure, and the replacement code
logs or returns errors instead.
