Direct OS Shell in Orion

Bug 427399 - 'Shell' Provide an Orion Node shell based on tty.js/term.js

Abstract: Strip Orion's Node.js old shell functionality and replace it with a fuller browser shell. Currently, only a few commands (cd, clear, edit, help, ls, node, npm, plugins, pwd, and service) have been manually extended for the shell. Use WebSocket and tty.js/term.js to provide fuller and more easily maintainable functionality, rather than having to add each command individually.
