pytester: workaround issue causing spawn to crash or hang

In pytester tests, pytest stashes & restores the sys.modules for each
test. So if the test imports a new module, it is initialized anew each
time.

Turns out the readline module isn't multi-init safe, which causes
pytester.spawn to crash or hang. So preserve it as a workaround.
