run_cell returns an ExecutionResult instance...
run_cell returns an ExecutionResult instance gh-7256 asked for a boolean return value from run_cell() for whether code ran successfully. I discussed this with Min, who suggested that given the complexity of run_cell, it should return a result object that can store different pieces of information about what happened. This currently stores `execution_count`, `error_before_exec` (i.e. errors transforming, parsing or compiling the code), `error_in_exec` and `result`. It calculates `success` as a boolean that's true if neither of the error fields are set. Closes gh-7256

Documenting What's New

When making a new pull request that either adds a new feature, or makes a
backwards-incompatible change to IPython, please add a new .rst file in this
directory documenting this change as a part of your Pull Request.

This will allow multiple Pull Requests to do the same without conflicting with
one another. Periodically, IPython developers with commit rights will run a
script and populate development.rst
with the contents of this directory, and clean it up.

Files which describe new features can have any name, such as
antigravity-feature.rst, whereas backwards incompatible changes must have
have a filename starting with incompat-, such as
incompat-switching-to-perl.rst. Our "What's new" files always have two
sections, and this prefix scheme will make sure that the backwards incompatible
changes get routed to their proper section.
