crecord: fix issue when backgrounding editor would leave artefact

Before this patch:
- if a user was entering a commit message after having ran the curses
interface
- and then uses ctrl-z, followed by fg to put the editor in the
background/foreground
- then the curses interface would leave artefact on the screen of
the editor, making entering the commit message a difficult task

This happened because ncurses registers a signal handler for SIGTSTP and
does not restore the original signal handler after running.

This patch restores the original value of the signal handler after
running the curses interface and therefore fixes this issue.
It don't know how to add a test for this issue, I tested the scenario
above manually and it works correctly with the patch.
