- Added dots to printed commands.
- Use spaces instead of tabs so there's no misalignment on terminals
with a tab size other than 4.
- Improved the help text for .editor and .help.
- Automatically indent command help based on the longest command.

When in `.editor` mode, current line whitespace prefixes
are preserved in the subsequent line. User can hit backspace
to clean the whitespace
```js

// Entering editor mode (^D to finish, ^C to cancel)
function test() {
console.log('tested!'); //On enter, cursor will be after 2 spaces

When `useGlobal` is false, tab completion in the repl does not enumerate
global properties. Instead of just setting these properties blindly on
the global context, e.g.
context[prop] = global[prop]
Use `Object.defineProperty` and the property descriptor found on
`global` for the new property in `context`.
Also addresses a previously unnoticed issue where `console` is writable
when `useGlobal` is false.
If the binary has been built with `./configure --without-intl` then the
`Intl` builtin type will not be available in a repl runtime. Check for
this in the test.

Make the builtin libraries available for the `--eval` and
`--print` CLI options, using the same mechanism that the
REPL uses.
This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`
unnecessary.
As part of this, the list of builtin modules and the code for
adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry
is added.

Change the regular expression that recognizes “simple” JS expressions
to requiring that the full line needs to match it.
Previously, in terms like `a().b.`, `b.` would be a partial match.
This meant that completion would evaluate `b` and either fail with
a `ReferenceError` or, if `b` was some global, return the properties
of the global `b` object.

This commit addresses https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/5431 by
changing the way that the repl handles assignment to the global _
variable.
Prior to this commit, node sets the result of the last expression
evaluated in the repl to `_`. This causes problems for users of
underscore, lodash and other packages where it is common to assign
`_` to the package, e.g. `_ = require('lodash');`.
Changes in this commit now result in the following behavior.
- If unassigned on the repl, `_` continues to refer to the last
evaluated expression.
- If assigned, the default behavior of assigning `_` to the last
evaluated expression is disabled, and `_` now references whatever
value was explicitly set. A warning is issued on the repl -
'expression assignment to _ now disabled'.
- If `_` is assigned multiple times, the warning is only displayed once.
- When `.clear` is executed in the repl, `_` continues to refer to its
most recent value, whatever that is (this is per existing behavior).
If `_` had been explicitly set prior to `.clear` it will not change
again with the evaluation of the next expression.

Currently, the repl allows multiline function declarations, strings, and
all sorts of niceties by catching the SyntaxErrors they issue and
ignoring them. However, the SyntaxError raised by multiline function
calls was not caught. This commit adds to the whitelist.

Fix module loading of third-party modules in the REPL by inheriting
module.paths from the REPL's parent module.
Commit ee72ee7 ("module,repl: remove repl require() hack") introduced
a regression where require() of modules in node_modules directories
no longer worked in the REPL (and fortunately only in the REPL.)
It turns out we didn't have test coverage for that but we do now.

The actual problem was with the line parsing logic for string literals.
When we use backslash in the string literals, it used to remember the
`\` as the previous character even after we parsed the character next
to it. This leads to REPL thinking that the end of string literals is
not reached.
This patch replaces the previous character with `null`, so that it will
properly skip the character next to it.
