James Ross-Gowan b3b2cc44fa console.lua: add this script
Merged from mpv-repl git repo commit 5ea2bf64f9c239f0326b02. Some
changes were made on top of it:

- Tabs were converted to 4 spaces indentation (plus some manual
  indentation fixes in some places).
- All user-visible mentions of "repl" were renamed to "console".
- The README was converted to a manpage (with heavy changes, some
  additions taken from stats.rst; rossy converted the key bindings
  table to RST).
- The method to change the default key binding was changed.
- Change minor detail about "font" default value setting (not a
  functional change).
- Integrate into the player as builtin script, including an option to
  prevent loading it.

Above changes and commit message done by wm4.

CONSOLE
=======
The console is a REPL for mpv input commands. It is displayed on the video
window. It also shows log messages. It can be disabled entirely using the
``--load-osd-console=no`` option.
Keybindings
-----------
\`
Show the console.
ESC
Hide the console.
ENTER
Run the typed command.
Shift+ENTER
Type a literal newline character.
Ctrl+LEFT and Ctrl+RIGHT
Move cursor to previous/next word.
UP and DOWN
Navigate command history.
PGUP
Go to the first command in the history.
PGDN
Stop navigating command history.

Toggle insert mode.
Shift+INSERT

Delete text from the cursor to the end of the line.

Commands
--------
``script-message-to console type <text>``
Show the console and pre-fill it with the provided text.
Known issues
------------
- Pasting text is slow on Windows
- Non-ASCII keyboard input has restrictions
- The cursor keys move between Unicode code-points, not grapheme clusters
Configuration
-------------
This script can be customized through a config file ``script-opts/console.conf``
placed in mpv's user directory and through the ``--script-opts`` command-line
option. The configuration syntax is described in `ON SCREEN CONTROLLER`_.
Key bindings can be changed in a standard way, see for example stats.lua
documentation.
Configurable Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``scale``
Default: 1
All drawing is scaled by this value, including the text borders and the
cursor. Change it if you have a high-DPI display.
``font``
Default: unset (picks a hardcoded font depending on detected platform)
Set the font used for the REPL and the console. This probably doesn't
have to be a monospaced font.
``font_size``
Default: 16
Set the font size used for the REPL and the console. This will be
multiplied by "scale."
