Subject: Extend command-prompt with a -p option which is a comma-separated
 list of one or more prompts to present in order.

The responses to the prompt are replaced in the template string: %% are
replaced in order, so the first prompt replaces the first %%, the second
replaces the second, and so on. In addition, %1 up to %9 are replaced with the
responses to the first the ninth prompts

The default template is "%1" so the response to the first prompt is processed
as a command.

Note that this changes the behaviour for %% so if there is only one prompt,
only the first %% will be replaced. Templates such as "neww -n '%%' 'ssh %%'"
should be changed to "neww -n '%1' 'ssh %1'".
