Anna Henningsen 6cf64af44d repl: do not cause side effects in tab completion
A number of recent changes to the REPL tab completion logic have
introduced the ability for completion to cause side effects,
specifically, calling arbitrary functions or variable
assignments/updates.

This was first introduced in 07220230d9 and the problem exacerbated in
8ba66c5e7b. Our team noticed this because our tests started failing
when attempting to update to Node.js 20.19.5.

Some recent commits, such as 1093f38c43 or 69453378fc, have
messages or PR descriptions that imply the intention to avoid side
effects, which I can can generally be agreed upon is in line with the
expectations that a user has of autocomplete functionality.
However, some of the tests introduced in those commts specifically
verify that side effects *can* happen under specific circunmstances.
I am assuming here that this is unintentional, and the corresponding
tests have been removed/replaced in this commit.
