sys.exit(...) exception swallowed by uvloop

[dmoklaf]

• uvloop version:
  0.19.0

• Python version:
  3.11.9

• Platform:
  MacOS 14.5 (Sonoma)
  mamba 1.5.8
  conda 24.5.0

• Can you reproduce the bug with PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG in env?:
  Not yet

• Does uvloop behave differently from vanilla asyncio? How?:
  I have never had this bug with vanilla asyncio

If a sys.exit(...) call is made while uvloop is being used in coroutines (in my case, through aiohttp crawling of web URLs), uvloop may catch the SystemExit exception, and not let it bubble as a SystemExit to the top of the application. Instead, it logs this at the ERROR level:

2024-07-26 06:25:06,802 ERROR asyncio Fatal error on transport TCPTransport
protocol: <uvloop.loop.SSLProtocol object at 0x16b54de80>

  File "/Users/dmoklaf/Local/metax/python_libraries/application.py", line 171, in _exit
    sys.exit(code)
SystemExit: 1

Indeed, a quick look at the uvloop code shows that it logs the SystemExit exception, as SystemExit does not subclass OSError:

uvloop/uvloop/handles/basetransport.pyx

Line 40 in 6c770dc

cdef _fatal_error(self, exc, throw, reason=None):

PS: there also seems to be other _fatal_error implementations in uvloop, I am not completely sure if these other places do not suffer from the same issue

And it also swallows the SystemExit exception, instead of propagating it upward as requested by the Python specification.
