[issue13495] IDLE: Regressions - Two ColorDelegator instances loaded and -e no longer edits new files.

There was another regression introduced by (a4bd8a4805a8). IDLE 3 no longer allows for editing of new files from the command line. 

For example:

   idle -e /tmp/newfile.py 

will momentarily flash an editor window before it is closed. This is due to "good_load" not being set. What's worse is that the IDLE process will continue running without having any visible windows open. 

The rev2 patch removes the "good_load" flag and fixes the ColorDelegator issue.

I understand the purpose of the original code is to avoid displaying a blank editor in case of a decode error. The rev2 patch reintroduces this behavior. In my opinion, that behavior is not a serious problem.
