Now that we have a standalone test-js program, the "-t" test mode of the js REPL is unused and can simply be removed. Required functionality has been duplicated in test-js (isStrictMode function, loading of testing utilities). Also remove outdated information about tests from the js(1) man page.

Name
js - evaluate JavaScript
Synopsis
$ js [options...] [script.js]
Description
js evaluates JavaScript programs using the LibJS engine. If you pass it a path
to a script file, it will execute that script. Otherwise, it enters the
Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) mode, where it interactively reads pieces (usually,
single lines) of code from standard input, evaluates them in one shared
interpreter context, and prints back their results. This mode is useful for
quickly experimenting with LibJS.
Run help() in REPL mode to see its available built-in functions.
Options
-A,--dump-ast: Dump the Abstract Syntax Tree after parsing the program.-l,--print-last-result: Print the result of the last statement executed.-g,--gc-on-every-allocation: Run garbage collection on every allocation.-s,--no-syntax-highlight: Disable live syntax highlighting in the REPL
Examples
Here's how you execute a script:
$ js ~/js/type-play.js
And here's an example of an interactive REPL session:
$ js
> function log_sum(a, b) {
> console.log(a + b)
> }
undefined
> log_sum(35, 42)
77
undefined
