Add check to scala REPL package to improve feedback about implicits (#5159)

When the repl is started with additional compiler flags that prevent implicits
being in scope (like -Yno-predef) the default message of implicits in scope
using :implicits stays the same.
This additional check will return the same message if predef is indeed in
scope and an adjusted message if Predef is not in scope.
