[issue20016] make site.py Quitter call itself on repr

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

Sorry, it is a deliberate choice to not have reprs have side-effects, espercially as important as quitting the interpreter.  The repr of quit/exit is used in places such as pydoc help; it would be bad to quit when the user wants to see documentation, for example.
