Feature/add line numbers to prompt (#14223)

This PR adds line numbers to the default prompt (#13965).

You can now display absolute, relative of both line number in the emacs and vi prompt by using the `TerminalInteractiveShell.prompt_line_number_format` option the at takes string to format with both
`line` (1 base int) and `rel_line` (int)`. For example:

`c.TerminalInteractiveShell.prompt_line_number_format='{line: 4d}/{rel_line:+03d} | '`
