[cmdline] Allow ";" as an unconditional command separator

It is currently possible to construct a sequence of commands to be
executed regardless of success or failure using "|| &&" as the command
separator.  (The "||" captures the failure case, the blank command
converts it to a success case.)

Allow ";" to be used as a more visually appealing (and
space-efficient) alternative.
