Add exit_river keybinding

Recently, river removed the hardcoded Ctrl+Alt Delete keybinding that
exits river and replaces it with a new `exit_session` request. This adds
support for that request via the new `exit_session` bind. We also added
3 hardcoded default keybinds to: exit river, reload the config, and
open foot. This way, if the config fails to load or is missing, you
should still be able to try reload. I guess you're still SOL if you have
at least one keybind and it's not reload_config, but you do what you can
do.

river -c beansprout
If you need to exit river, for example if *beansprout* crashes, you can use
river's hardcoded *Ctrl+Alt+Delete* keybind.
If no keybinds are configured (e.g. missing or broken config), *beansprout*
provides fallback keybinds: *Ctrl+Alt+Delete* to exit the River session,
*Super+Shift+R* to reload config, and *Super+T* to spawn a terminal.
If *beansprout* crashes, you can use River's hardcoded *Ctrl+Alt F1**F12*
bindings to switch to another TTY. From there, you can kill River or restart
*beansprout* (you will need to set *WAYLAND_DISPLAY* yourself, e.g.
_WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 beansprout_).
