RFR 8133347: Add makefiles support and basic session, persistence history navigation with jline

[Sundararajan Athijegannathan]

Hi Jan,

Yes, I took that part of code from jshell code - hoped that I can do 
multiline editing support + history on that  for jjs later. But, you're 
right. For now, it is better to have a simpler history code in Console 
as you suggested.

Also if we want more common code, perhaps jdk.internal.le could have 
abstract classes shared b/w jshell and jjs (later).

I've updated Console with your simpler history implementation. Updated 
nashorn webrev:

Thanks,
-Sundar
