add `:load` command to REPLs (`clox` and `jlox`) #9

the :load command would take a single parameter: the path to a lox source file.

as a bonus, we might configure the line readers in each REPL to autocomplete source files

Update: clox now has support for the :load command, which accepts both absolute and relative paths.

marked as p0 because jlox doesn't have an implementation yet and it is definitely very painful to debug large programs in jlox otherwise (one can always run the script, but it's not possible to interact in the REPL session that way)
