Feature: Remember previously specified NS and DB in command-line REPL

[tobiemh]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The original points for this issue can be seen in #32.

Once the --ns and --db arguments are made optional in the SurrealDB command-line REPL (#34), then if the Namespace or Database has not yet been specified, each query must include a USE NS ... DB ... statement before any other statement, can be run.

Describe the solution

The SurrealDB command-line should remember the last specified Namespace or Database which have been set with USE NS and USE DB.

SurrealDB version

@tobiemh Is this currently being worked on? Been looking for a way to contribute and thought this would be a good one.

It would be great If command-line REPL can show currently used/selected Namespace and Database in prompt

namespace.database>
OR
namespace/database>
