Debug os.Signal handling
Problem: When SIGINT signals we're sent to the token server, it would shut down without completing the shutdown procedure. The shutdown procedure would persist the application state (i.e. access and refresh tokens). This is problematic for the following sequence of events: t0. Access and refresh tokens retrieved from kv.json and used as app state. t1. Tokens are refreshed but not persisted. (I'm still unsure how this happens). Remember that this means the previous access and refresh tokens from t0 are now invalid. t2. User sends a SIGINT. t3. Token server shuts down. t4. Token server is restarted, kv.json is used as the app state even though its tokens are now invalid. t5. Tokens are attempted to refresh, Monzo API rejects the tokens because they're invalid. Now we need to provide the token server with valid access and refresh tokens otherwise we will repeat the loop described above. This means going through the client authorization flow again or copying and pasting the tokens logged from the token server into kv.json. Either scenario is more manual than I'd prefer. Solution: Use a buffered channel to receive the os.Signal. I got this idea after reading these docs: https://golang.org/pkg/os/signal/#Notify and I debugged this issue shortly thereafter. I also rearranged the order of operations in main/0 to ensure that handleInterrupts/0, which registers the event listeners, occurs before scheduleTokenRefresh/2 is called. This allows the token server to gracefully shutdown even if it's in the middle of the scheduleTokenRefresh/2 call.
