add _prettyShell=false to mongosh

In 4.4, the mongo shell prints 'ugly' by default. Many of our scripts are written to expect this type of output. The mongo shell includes the command: DBQuery.prototype._prettyShell=false to explicitly set this. In mongosh, there is no built in/native ability to achieve the same output as mongo shell.
