Fixed bug where pyscripts could edit cmd2.Cmd.py_locals dictionary.

Fixed bug where cmd2 set sys.path[0] for a pyscript to its cwd instead of the script's directory.
Fixed bug where sys.path was not being restored after a pyscript ran.
Setting the following pyscript variables:
    __name__: __main__
    __file__: script path (as typed)
Removed do_py.run() function since it didn't handle arguments and offered no benefit over run_pyscript.

     * Corrected issue where the actual new value was not always being printed in do_set. This occurred in cases where
       the typed value differed from what the setter had converted it to.
     * Fixed bug where ANSI style sequences were not correctly handled in `utils.truncate_line()`.
