repl: fix .load infinite loop caused by shared use of lineEnding RegExp

Since the lineEnding Regular Expression is declared on the module scope,
recursive invocations of its `[kTtyWrite]` method share one instance of
this Regular Expression.
Since the state of a RegExp is managed by instance,
alternately calling RegExpPrototypeExec with the same RegExp on
different strings can lead to the state changing unexpectedly.
This is the root cause of this infinite loop bug when calling .load on
javascript files of certain shapes.
