This is pretty useful when trying to inspect the last
error caught by a REPL, and is made to be analogous to `_`,
which contains the last successful completion value.

Add a test to cover situation where REPL is initialized with `useGlobal`
set to `true` and `.clear` is called. This adds coverage for code in
repl.js that is not currently covered.
Includes minor refactor of rocket functions in repl.js for concision.

This reverts commit fce4b981ea.
This was a breaking change and should have been marked semver-major.
The change that was made altered the output of util.format() and
util.inspect(). With how much those are used in the wild, this type of
change deserves more justification.

add carriage returns to ensure that the output is displayed correctly
using `\r\n` should not be a problem, even on non-Windows platforms.

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.
