Merge pull request #4016 from takluyver/IPython-start-funcs Fix IPython.start_* functions start_kernel() didn't work at all (#4005), and I found while investigating that passing user_ns to either start_ipython() or start_kernel() had no effect, because the Application wasn't passing it on to the Shell. This is a simple fix for the most pressing issues. We should think about any other parameters that we want to be passed through from our top level API, e.g. possibly user_module. closes #4005

"""Preserve a set of keys in a dictionary.
Upon entering the context manager the current values of the keys
will be saved. Upon exiting, the dictionary will be updated to
restore the original value of the preserved keys. Preserved keys
which did not exist when entering the context manager will be
deleted.
