bug#22785: 24.5; comint/shell modes should be merged with term mode

[Per Bothner]

The "line" submode of term mode duplicates much of the functionality
of comint mode.  When I wrote term mode, my hope was that it would
subsume comint mode, or that comint mode would be built on top of
term mode.  That never happened - so far.

'shell mode' should basically be the same as 'term' mode, except
that shell mode starts of in line-editing mode, while term mode
starts up in character mode.

There are obvious advantages to merging these modes. One is
we have ansi escape sequence handling in a single place.
Another is that you can run console applications from shell mode.
