IDLE -- Restrict shell prompt manipulaton to the shell. (GH-4143) (#4155)

Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line.
This simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
(cherry picked from commit e86172d63a)
