pocketsphinx binary hangs when called with no arguments

If pocketsphinx is called with no arguments, it just sits there and doesn't use any cpu, and doesn't respond to control-C.

This is on macOS 12.6, YMMV

It also won't give any help if given -h or -help or --help, same behavior

Hi! This is because it is reading from standard input, and the system call in question doesn't get interrupted by SIGINT.

This behaviour is logical and yet totally unexpected, so I will change it so that you have to pass an input file of - for it to read from stdin. And likewise to get help more easily!
