repl: `--option pure-eval true` actually enables pure eval mode

To quote Eelco in #5867:

Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by
default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless
it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag.

In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override
`pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands
where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure
eval actually matters).

Closes #5867
