Title: iex: add exit/0 to shell shortcuts

Please discuss, but for a first time user, there's:

1. no explanation how to quit the shell today
2. the built in ways are crazy - we can do better than `^c a`, or `^g q`

Alternatives?

I'm aware of the risk of closing the remote VM instead of the local console but I haven't had a clever idea yet to solve that.
