Implement programmable prompt (issue #09)

Replace static _PROMPT/_PROMPT2 with dynamic __prompt(exitcode)/__prompt2(exitcode)
functions. Fallback chain: __prompt() → _PROMPT → "> ". Install a default __prompt
that shows the current directory with ~ abbreviation. Track last exit code from the
REPL loop and pass it to the prompt function.

 # 09 — Programmable prompt
 
-**Status:** open
+**Status:** done
-**Blocked by:** #08
 
 Users should be able to customize the shell prompt by defining a Lua function, similar to how other shells use `PS1`/`PROMPT_COMMAND`/`precmd`.
