-y does not confirm exit prompt

Disclaimer: this is copied from jupyterlab/jupyterlab#9585 since i was asked there to re-open here.

Description

When running jupyter lab with -y and pressing ctrl+c to stop, it still prompts for "Shutdown this jupyter server"

Reproduce

1. Run jupyter lab with the -y flag
2. Press ctrl + C to stop jupyter lab
3. Observe it asking for a confirmation.

Expected behavior

I expect -y to skip the confirmation.

Context

Running in WSL, with a largely default config, where the only changed variables are:

c.ServerApp.browser = '/mnt/c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'
c.ServerApp.use_redirect_file = False

• Operating System and version: Windwos 10 + WSL Ubuntu 18
• JupyterLab version: 3.0.2 (3.0.3 has another issue with authentication)

@jasongrout there you go, reopened here.

Thanks! I'll close the other one since this is where development would happen.

Seems like this should be closed by PR #479
