refactor: improve the REPL (#24204)

This PR improves the Electron REPL experience. It adds a welcome message to the REPL to let users know what versions of Node.js and Electron they're running, as well as overriding the completer function in the REPL to preload and add tab autocompletion for Electron's own modules.
