:print strings directly in nix repl

Browse Source 
Strings are now printed directly when evaluated by `:print`, rather than
escaped. This makes it easier to debug multi-line strings or strings
containing quotes, like the results of `builtins.readFile`,
`lib.toShellArg`, and so on.

```
nix-repl> "cuppy\ndog\ncity"
"cuppy\ndog\ncity"

nix-repl> :p "cuppy\ndog\ncity"
cuppy
dog
city
```
