When useGlobal is set to false, Tab complete function returns fewer results.

// With useGlobal: true

I’m still not sure if that is the right fix, but then again I’m not actually too familiar with how non-useGlobal REPLs are usually used outside of core.

My first intuition would have been that implementing .scope by default could solve this (apparently that’s what the debugger REPL does?), but ultimately I can’t speak up for which approach would be the best one.

I’d still think that side effects of tab completion should be avoided as far as possible.

@princejwesley hope I'm not stepping on your toes here, but I think this is the better way to accomplish what you are trying to do. /cc @addaleax

repl: Enable tab completion for global properties
c39f6c0 
When `useGlobal` is false, tab completion in the repl does not enumerate
global properties. Instead of just setting these properties blindly on
the global context, e.g.

    context[prop] = global[prop]

Use `Object.defineProperty` and the property descriptor found on
`global` for the new property in `context`.

Also addresses a previously unnoticed issue where `console` is writable
when `useGlobal` is false.

If the binary has been built with `./configure --without-intl` then the
`Intl` builtin type will not be available in a repl runtime. Check for
this in the test.

Fixes: #7353
