Better Console

Description

A few improvements to the console.

Note: This mod is mostly intended for mod developers. For information about the console, see:
http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/Console

Major features

Console log is scrollable
Console log no longer prints file/line number information (but log.txt still does)
Console keeps focus when you'd expect it to
Console doesn't close after each line entered
Added basic CTRL+A select all support (hitting backspace after CTRL+A will delete all the text)
Many general useability improvements, bugs that have been fixed, and small but useful tweaks

Minor features (the rest)

Console always runs the 'consolecommands' script when it is opened (no more having to do RunScript('consolecommands'))
Console log gets hidden whenever the console closes
Console history ignores consecutive duplicate lines
Console log has word wrap enabled
Fixed console history not properly resetting when you move up through the history and then back down to the start
Modified the c_select command so that it will set the debug entity to whatever is under the mouse if it is called with no parameter (default c_select requires a parameter)
Added c_nextday() command as a shortcut for GetClock():MakeNextDay()
Console will automatically print back the value of any variable you enter (for example, if you do 'test = 1' and then just 'test' it will print back '1')
If you use 'return' it will print back the value that is returned (for example, 'return GetPlayer()' would print something like '100009 - wilson'); basically return can be used as somewhat of an alias of print
Console prints back any command you give it
Console has a transparent black background
Console can print multiple return values
Console will auto-execute console commands (example: "c_nextday" would translate to "return c_nextday()")
If the first character of an inputted line is '=', then it will be translated to 'return ' (example: "=test" becomes "return test")
Better, more informative error handling for inputted lines
