repl: preventing REPL crash with inherited properties

When an inherited property is used as a REPL keyword, the REPL crashes.

    ➜  Desktop  iojs
    > process.version
    'v2.3.4'
    > .toString
    readline.js:913
            stream[ESCAPE_DECODER].next(r[i]);
                                    ^
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

This patch makes the internal `commands` object inherit from `null` so
that there will be no inherited properties.

    > process.version
    'v2.3.5-pre'
    > .toString
    Invalid REPL keyword
