Support for removing exit hooks

[mfulton26]

Sometimes I want to register an exit-hook to if my program gets interrupted, etc. but in normal execution of the program resources are cleaned once they are no longer needed. It would be great to have support for removing an exit-hook if it is no longer needed. Thanks.

The handler could return an unsubscribe function.

const unsubscribe = exitHook(() => {
	console.log('Exiting');
});

I have a nested node module that is using exit-hook in an AWS Lambda. The aws lambda is unable to exit because of the event listeners in exit-hook. This is turning into more of a necessity than a feature.
