run_kernel() cleanup and signal_handler() invoke stty unconditionally.
When stdin is not a tty (for example in CI or unit tests), this writes
noise to stderr.

Call stty only when stdin is a tty.

Add regression tests for these paths:
- run_kernel() with non-tty stdin
- signal_handler() with non-tty stdin
- signal_handler() with tty stdin
