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.

`\n` is not enough for Linux with some custom stream
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.
