RFR 8166400: JShell: friendlier representation of array values

[Robert Field]

Arrays can't be used because that is based on compile-time type.

Array can be used.  I was resistant to using reflection.  But that sure 
reduces the code.  Here is the new webrev:

(Test is unchanged).

P.S. The representation is getting positive reviews
