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.

The documentation currently states that it's not intended to directly

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).

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.
