On Windows `lldb --repl` can hang forever instead of exiting at EOF.
`IOHandlerEditline::GetLine` checks `GetLastError() == ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED` and does a `continue` before checking `feof`.
However `fgets` is a CRT function and does not set the Win32 last error value, so the `GetLastError` read is not the expected error. When it happens to be `ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED` (995) the loop never reaches the EOF check.
This reorders the checks so EOF wins unconditionally, and adds `clearerr` before the ctrl-c retry (a real interrupt leaves the error flag set, which would fail the next `fgets`). ctrl-c handling is otherwise unchanged.
