piping pino break servers that catch sigint when using ctrl-c

If you pipe pino to get a nicely formatted output for your logs using ctrl-c can cause the server to throw an exception. This is because the shell will send SIGINT to both pino and your server code. pino will immediately exit but if your server is trying to do some graceful termination and logging in he process it will crash since pino already closed stdout.

Example server code -

'use strict'

const pino = require('pino')()

pino.info('starting server')
const interval = setInterval(function () {
    pino.info('server running')
}, 1000);

process.on('SIGINT', () => {
    pino.info('server stopping server')
    setTimeout(() => {
        clearInterval(interval)
        pino.info('server stopped')
    }, 1000)
})

if you run node server.js | pino and terminate the process using ctrl-c the following error is thrown -

events.js:183
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: write EPIPE
    at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
    at WriteWrap.afterWrite [as oncomplete] (net.js:867:14)
