[issue44603] REPL: exit when the user types exit instead of asking them to explicitly type exit()

Thanks Steven for your input and your comments and for expressing your concerns. I will hold the PR then until there is consensus on how to proceed and all concerns are addressed (eventually closing it if there isn't consensus).

I'm any case, I think we should at least proceed with the uncontroversial part of the proposal:

> (1) Include "exit" in the interpreter startup message, making it: Type "help()", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information, or type "exit()" to quit Python.

This is, including exit in the message and using the form exit() and help() instead of exit and help.
