new: nim -e:cmd to run a command directly; also fixes #15731 (#15687)

* new: `nim -i cmd`
* rename -i to -e (for eval); consistent with majority of other programing languages
* `nim e -e:cmd` now works; bugfix: `echo cmd | nim e -` now works
* honor --betterRun
* address comments
* --eval alias for -e (replaces undocumented --eval which was a noop)
* --eval now defaults to e (nimscript) instead of r
* address comment: remove -e, only keep --eval
* address comment
* fixup
* Update compiler/nimconf.nim
