Fixes https://github.com/vors/jupyter-powershell/issues/23

This is just a quick fix for the above. The actual fix would likely involve overriding Read-Host with a custom function. The IPyKernel overwrites raw_input() with its own version to handle prompting for input, so maybe we can call raw_input() via python from a custom Read-Host. If that doesn't work, then we'd need to find a way to integrate the custom Read-Host will all the jupyter socket/messaging logic.

I've also verified that we see an error in the cell output when trying to run functions like Read-Host with this change.

How old is this flag? Is it something new in pwsh 6/7 or it existed in windows powershell?

It's listed in these docs for powershell 3.0, so I imagine it's been around for a while.
