In Erlang/OTP 26 there is support for starting a shell session
from an escript instead of using the hack that is currently used.
So we make sure to use that method if possible.
See erlang/otp#6144 for details on the new shell
Note: At the moment rebar3 is started with "-noshell" which is the default for escripts. In 26 it will also be possible to start an escript in "-noinput" and then change to "-noshell" or start a shell session depending on what the application wants to do. I don't know if rebar3 should change to "-noinput", but I thought I would just mention it so that you know that the possibility exists.
