RFR 8172102: jshell tool: remove print method forwarding to System.out from default startup

[Brian Goetz]

I think the use of path syntax here is a bit of an abuse.  Typically, a 
path A:B represents a search path; first look in A, and then, if not 
found, look in B.  But what you want to indicate is that we should 
process A *and* B at startup; this isn't a path.

Unfortunately, there's not a universally accepted "and" character, where 
you could say "A,B" or "A+B" that people would immediately grok.  So 
better to use repeated flags:

     jshell --startup A --startup B

which is a bit verbose, but I think is more standard.

I'd also prefer to see the standard startup be an actual, checked-in 
file called something like resources/DEFAULT.jsh, which is placed in the 
output directory alongside classfiles through the usual build mechanics, 
rather than living in code.  I don't see that in the webrev?
