refactor: remove colab console in favour of colab ssh - #205

Conversation
`colab ssh` supersedes the `/colab/tty` console, whose piped output carried terminal-control bytes. This deletes the console module, its tests, the piped-console integration test and converter.py's stale console comment. Use `colab ssh -s NAME` for an interactive shell and `colab ssh -s NAME -- CMD` for one-shot commands, or `echo '!cmd' | colab exec -s NAME` where ssh can't work. BREAKING CHANGE: `colab console` is removed; use `colab ssh -s NAME`, or `colab ssh -s NAME -- CMD` for one-shot commands (`!`-prefixed `colab exec` where ssh can't work).
…or code The `!echo hi` passthrough test now sits next to the other `colab exec` stdin tests and uses their runtime fixture. The console regression test drops a docstring that restated it and checks Click's named usage-error exit code instead of a bare 2.

Looks reasonable, I want to cut a minor release first so I'm going to hold on on merging for a few days.

why?
colab ssh -s NAME -- CMD(#195) had to land first, since it replaces the shippedcolab-operatorskill's piping intocolab consoleand keeps the exit status;echo '!cmd' | colab execruns in the kernel and drops it (!falsestill exits 0).Interactive users have
colab ssh -s NAME. Breaking, so it needs a major version.
