repl: make REPLServer.bufferedCommand private

The `REPLServer.bufferedCommand` property was undocumented, except
for its usage appearing, unexplained, in an example for
`REPLServer.defineCommand`. This commit deprecates that property,
privatizes it, and adds a `REPLServer.clearBufferedCommand()`
function that will clear the buffer.
