feat: add a stdlib ASCII art in REPL's default welcome message

[Snehil-Shah]

Resolves #2175

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request adds a stdlib ASCII art in the default welcome message of the REPL.

Some design combinations I tried are attached below:

• Julia type partitioning

  • Current implementation:
    

  • We can add/remove more spaces to make it more spread-out/compact:
    
    

  • A Tall typeface:
    

• Simple design

  

• A dramatic design I made myself (personally, not a fan)

  
  

@kgryte all yours to choose... I prefer the current implementation or a more compact version of it

There are various other fonts available here too, although most are a bit too dramatic for a REPL application IMO...
If we are looking for even smaller arts, rectangles, small etc are some of the good fonts

We can also explore incorporating some colors into our welcome message, now or in the future...

Questions

Any questions for reviewers of this pull request?

Can we shorten the text 'For more info about stdlib, see the source repository:' to just 'For more info, see the source repository:' or 'see the source repository:'? It better aligns with the rest of the block giving us a fixed width as attached below:

@Snehil-Shah The first design is good. And yes to abbreviating the "For more info,".

[kgryte]

I think you either want the vertical dashed line to either align with the API descriptions OR the tag text to align with the API descriptions.

[kgryte]

In the last screenshot in "Questions", you don't have either, so can appear misaligned.

[Snehil-Shah]

@kgryte Personally, they don't appear misaligned to me, as the API docs and the art above are two different entities which themselves look pretty symmetrical on their own.

Here are the designs after trying to align them. Looks good too:

With equal spacing around the vertical line. Honestly looks cluttered:

Aligning the vertical line looks worse imo:

What do you prefer?

[kgryte]

Let's go with the first. That is what is currently implemented in this PR, correct?

[Snehil-Shah]

@kgryte This is currently implemented:

If by first, you meant this, then this PR is good to go👍

LGTM. Thanks, @Snehil-Shah!
