The workaround used in repl to support `let` and `const` in non-strict
mode (known as "magic" mode) has been unnecessary since V8 v4.9 /
Node.js v6.0.0. This commit doc-deprecate magic mode (which is now
entirely equivalent to sloppy mode) in both `repl` module and in
`internal/repl`, which is responsible for starting the REPL in `node`
interactive mode.

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.

Currently, there is a check to ensure that the user either
provides an object or a string to repl.start(). The string case
is used to set a REPL prompt. However, a default of '> ' already
exists, so forcing the user to specify a prompt is a bit
redundant. This commit removes this restriction.

This commit replaces multiple usages of `function(){}` with ES2015

make the docs more consistent since other functions were already
replaced with ES2015 arrows.
In addition, it fixes invalid syntax in modules.markdown to valid
syntax as well as remove `var self = this` pattern usages in the code
where they are now possible to avoid through arrow functions.

This changes the code blocks from 4-space indentation to ``` fences for
better syntax highlighting and future linting support. Minor On-the-fly
changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is
on the same line as the opening one.
Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
the code style.

this creates a new internal module responsible for providing
the repl created via "iojs" or "iojs -i," and adds the following
options to the readline and repl subsystems:
* "repl mode" - determine whether a repl is strict mode, sloppy mode,
or auto-detect mode.
* historySize - determine the maximum number of lines a repl will store
as history.
The built-in repl gains persistent history support when the
NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE environment variable is set. This functionality
is not exposed to userland repl instances.
