* 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

Make `requiresInit` pragma to work for distinct types in addition to
objects. Tagging of distinct types with `requiresInit` pragma was
already supported, but its impact wasn't applied. Now its behavior when
applied on distinct types is as follows.
Given the following distinct type definitions:
```nim
type
DistinctObject {.requiresInit, borrow: `.`.} = distinct MyObject
DistinctString {.requiresInit.} = distinct string
```
The following code blocks will fail to compile:
```nim
var foo: DistinctFoo
foo.x = "test"
doAssert foo.x == "test"
```
```nim
var s: DistinctString
s = "test"
doAssert s == "test"
```
But these ones will compile successfully:
```nim
let foo = DistinctFoo(Foo(x: "test"))
doAssert foo.x == "test"
```
```nim
let s = "test"
doAssert s == "test"
```

When calling procs from Nim in Nimscript you could hit the VM iteration limit even though the code is functioning properly. This resolves that by making the iteration limit reset eachtime you call a proc.
