Summary: Remove warning: console is busy

Initial Comment:
For someone using rkward regularily as me, it would be extremely useful if executing commands using F7, F8 or F9 with some text in the console does not show the window: “You have configured RKWard to run script commands through the console. However, the console is currently busy (either a command is running, or you have started to enter text in the console). Do you want to bypass the console this one time, or do you want to try again later?”. 

Instead, whatever is in the console should be simply removed. I often type somethings in the console, and realize that I could execute simply a line in the code. Implementing this wish - at least as a configurable behaviour - would improve the useability of rkward for me very much!

Except of this little issue, thank you very much for this great and very useful software!

Message:
This warning can be pretty annoying indeed. I think it makes sense to
differentiate two cases:

1. User typed something in the console, but did not hit enter, yet, OR
command in console is syntactically incomplete:
Yes, probably it makes most sense to offer the option to remove the old
command.

2. A command is actually running in the console:
Add the new command in the paste buffer, instead (and display a note with
"do not show again"-option).

Perhaps it would really makes sense to offer the option of secondary
console windows for power users, after all.
