Instead of writing to the REPL’s input stream for the alignment
spaces in `.editor` mode, let `readline` handle the spaces
properly (echoing them using `_ttyWrite` and adding them to the
current line buffer).

In `.editor` mode, `repl.write()` would have crashed when the
`key` argument was not present, because the overwritten
`_ttyWrite` of REPLs doesn’t check for the absence of a second
argument like `readline.write()` does.
Since the docs indicate that the argument is optional, add
a check paralleling the one in `readline.write()`.

When in `.editor` mode, current line whitespace prefixes
are preserved in the subsequent line. User can hit backspace
to clean the whitespace
```js
node 🙈 ₹ node
> .editor
// Entering editor mode (^D to finish, ^C to cancel)
function test() {
console.log('tested!'); //On enter, cursor will be after 2 spaces
_
