Title: A better REPL context classloader.

Previously, when using ThreadStoppingLineManager (ie, not using
-Yrepl-sync), the parent classloader was installed as the thread
context classloader. On my machine, this was null.

Now, the behaviour is consistent with the thread-free line manager,
and allows access to classes defined during the REPL session.

Closes SI-5072
