repl: don't clobber RegExp.$ properties
In REPL, if we evaluate the `RegExp` object's predefined properties,
and if they happen to have the same expression, for example,
> RegExp.$1
'RegExp.$1'
then doing `eval(RegExp.$1)` would evaluate `RegExp.$1` recursively and
eventually throw `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`.
This patch stores the old values of `RegExp`'s predefined proprties in
an array and restores them just before the current expression entered
by user is evaluated.
