Aider v0.54.0: interactive shell commands and Gemini 1.5 exp-0827 settings

Shell and /run commands can now run interactively where a pty is available, and their output can optionally be fed back to the model. Adds model settings for the Gemini 1.5 pro/flash exp-0827 snapshots and a --upgrade switch to self-update from PyPI.
