gmatch in lib/glob/sm_loop.c returns FNM_NOMATCH when a signal is

OK. An interrupt or a terminating signal, yes. Since gmatch and extmatch
can call each other recursively, this is a way to deal with the problem
described in

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2021-07/msg00065.html

by letting higher layers handle it.

But that's not really the issue right here. The question is whether the
shell should process additional terminating signals while it's running the
exit trap from the terminating signal handler.
