[jdk20] RFR: 8298425: System.console().readLine() hangs in jshell

After https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8295803, JShell snippets like:

jshell> System.console().readLine()


hang, as the JLine console is used, and it cannot correctly read from the console while in the remote agent (due to input/output redirection setup for the agent). Until [JDK-8296454](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296454) is resolved, the JLine console should be disabled inside the remote agent.

As the default console requires an attached terminal, and there is no attached terminal inside the agent, `System.console()` should then return `null` inside the JShell's agent, which was the behavior before JDK-8295803.
