Title: Added ‘-i’ command line option to Spark REPL

We had to create a new implementation of both scala.tools.nsc.CompilerCommand and scala.tools.nsc.Settings, because using scala.tools.nsc.GenericRunnerSettings would bring in other options (-howtorun, -save and -execute) which don’t make sense in Spark.
Any new Spark specific command line option could now be added to org.apache.spark.repl.SparkRunnerSettings class.

Since the behavior of loading a script from the command line should be the same as loading it using the “:load” command inside the shell, the script should be loaded when the SparkContext is available, that’s why we had to move the call to ‘loadfiles(settings)’ _after_ the call to postInitialization(). This still doesn’t work if ‘isAsync = true’.
