Description:
------------
The call to readline_shell_write() in readline_shell_run() is effectively a no-op 
so no newline is forced before the prompt.

Expected result:
----------------
$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > echo "hi";
hiphp > 

Actual result:
--------------
$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > echo "hi";
hi
php >

Log: Update log, marking 5.4 and trunk as XFAIL due to bug #55496

For the record, this changed (broke) in PHP 5.4.

Currently, CLI's interactive mode seems completely broken.

--with-readline, I get this.

We probably should warning message when PHP is built without readline/libedit.
