fix(repl): cross-platform CI failures (Windows paths, prompt_toolkit on Windows, libedit on macOS)

Three independent issues, one commit:

- `.save C:\Users\…\scratch.robot` no longer mangles the path on
  Windows. `shlex.split` was consuming backslashes as escape
  characters; switch to a custom shlex with `escape=""` so paths
  arrive intact while shell-style quoting (for spaces in paths)
  still works. Fixes the four `.save` test failures on Windows.

- `PromptSession()` no longer crashes on Windows CI runners with
  `NoConsoleScreenBufferError`. The runners advertise TERM=xterm-256color
  but expose no real Windows console buffer, so prompt_toolkit's
  eager `Win32Output` init blew up. A new repl-test conftest wraps
  every test in `create_app_session(output=DummyOutput())`, detaching
  prompt_toolkit instantiation from the runner's terminal. Fixes
  the nine prompt_toolkit-instantiation failures on Windows.

- The two readline history-file round-trip tests now use
  `@pytest.mark.skipif(_IS_LIBEDIT, …)` and a parallel
  libedit-only variant. The original test seeded the file with
  plain text, which only loads on GNU readline; the libedit variant
  seeds via `readline.write_history_file` so the file gets libedit's
  expected `_HiStOrY_V2_` header. The out-of-range test was
  refactored to seed via `write_history_file` directly and now runs
  unchanged on both backends. Coverage stays equivalent across
  platforms.
