Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of _Node.js_ as
_Node.js'_ and other times as _Node.js's_. The former conforms with some
generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while
the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).
Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is
correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and
sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to
eliminate the possessive form where possible.
This is one of those examples.

Custom eval functions might have a very different behavior than the
current implementation and having a preview in such case might be
confusing. This changes the preview default to `false` in case a
custom eval function is used. It is still possible to opt into using
the previews in case that's still desirable.

This improves the current history search feature by adding substring
based history search similar to ZSH. In case the `UP` or `DOWN`
buttons are pressed after writing a few characters, the start string
up to the current cursor is used to search the history.
All other history features work exactly as they used to.

Add a reverse search that works similar to the ZSH one. It is
triggered with <ctrl> + r and <ctrl> + s. It skips duplicated history
entries and works with multiline statements. Matching entries indicate
the search parameter with an underscore and cancelling with <ctrl> + c
or escape brings back the original line.
Multiple matches in a single history entry work as well and are
matched in the order of the current search direction. The cursor is
positioned at the current match position of the history entry.
Changing the direction immediately checks for the next entry in the
expected direction from the current position on.
Entries are accepted as soon any button is pressed that doesn't
correspond with the reverse search.
The behavior is deactivated for simple terminals. They do not support
most ANSI escape codes that are necessary for this feature.

This improves the already existing preview functionality by also
checking for the input completion. In case there's only a single
completion, it will automatically be visible to the user in grey.
If colors are deactivated, it will be visible as comment.
This also changes some keys by automatically accepting the preview
by moving the cursor behind the current input end.

This adds input previews by using the inspectors eager evaluation
functionality.
It is implemented as additional line that is not counted towards
the actual input. In case no colors are supported, it will be visible
as comment. Otherwise it's grey.
It will be triggered on any line change. It is heavily tested against
edge cases and adheres to "dumb" terminals (previews are deactived
in that case).

The use of dashes -- in general, but especially in our docs -- can be
problematic. It is used inconsistently and there is always another form
of punctuation that is as good or better for the situation. In an effort
to reduce the number of variations we use to display the same types of
information, remove the various uses of dashes from the documentation.

When running the REPL as standalone program it's now possible to use
`process.on('uncaughtException', listener)`. It is going to use those
listeners from now on and the regular error output is suppressed.
It also fixes the issue that REPL instances started inside of an
application would silence all application errors. It is now prohibited
to add the exception listener in such REPL instances. Trying to add
such listeners throws an `ERR_INVALID_REPL_INPUT` error.

This makes sure that the described default behavior for the
`terminal` option is actually always used and not only when running
the REPL as standalone program.
The options code is now logically combined instead of being spread

So far it was not possible to modify the inspection defaults used by
the REPL from the running instance itself. This introduces a new
property on `util.inspect` which is only used inside the REPL and which
allows to modify the used inspection defaults at any point of time.

This change also refactors all of the history file
