Fix bug#52467 by adding a new custom variable 'display-comint-buffer-action'

* lisp/window.el (display-comint-buffer-action): New `defcustom`,
defaults to 'display-buffer-same-window' for backward compatibility.
* lisp/cmuscheme.el (run-scheme, switch-to-scheme): Pass
'display-comint-buffer-action' to 'pop-to-buffer' instead
of using 'pop-to-buffer-same-window'.
* lisp/eshell/eshell.el (eshell): Likewise.
* lisp/shell.el (shell): Likewise.
* lisp/org/ol-eshell.el (org-eshell-open): Likewise.
* lisp/progmodes/inf-lisp.el (inferior-lisp): Likewise.
* lisp/progmodes/project.el (project-shell, project-eshell): Likewise.
* lisp/textmodes/tex-mode.el (tex-display-shell, tex-compile-default)
(tex-recenter-output-buffer): Pass 'display-comint-buffer-action'
to 'pop-to-buffer'.
