Title: RFC: new startup mode: load a file after loading ~/.juliarc

This is useful if you want to run a "script" that can run in both interactive mode and from the UNIX command line. In particular, it's nice to have whatever customizations are in ~/.juliarc available. Currently that is not possible because ``process_options`` in ``client.jl`` loads any files immediately. This patch adds the ability to defer loading until things are more complete.

This also separates out the role of the ``startup`` flag from the ``repl`` flag. I didn't see why it was dependent in the first place, but because this theoretically could break something I didn't want to just go ahead and commit.

This lacks an update to the --usage information (in ``repl.c``). I figure I'd do that after finding out whether people want to see changes.
