`comint-redirect-send-command' causes the shell prompt to be printed twice.

[Hongyi Zhao]

On Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I'm using the self-compiled git master Emacs,
and installed comint-mime package as follows:

```
(use-package comint-mime
  :straight ( :host github
          :repo "astoff/comint-mime"
          :files (:defaults "*.py" "*.sh"))
  ;;https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package#hooks
  ;;https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime#usage
  ;;https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=7b73d6af10&view=om&permmsgid=msg-a%3Ar-1233702610310931433
  ;;https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=7b73d6af10&view=om&permmsgid=msg-a%3Ar5550893479419332762
  :hook ((shell-mode inferior-python-mode) . comint-mime-setup)
  :custom
  ;;  https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/33992
  ;;https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime/issues/4#issuecomment-938384059
  (org-format-latex-options '(plist-put org-format-latex-options :scale 1.5))
  )
```

But the following code snippet in used in comint-mime package [1]:

```
(comint-redirect-send-command
(format " . %s\n" (shell-quote-argument
(expand-file-name "comint-mime.sh"
comint-mime-setup-script-dir)))
nil nil t)))
```

And the above code will causes the shell prompt to be printed twice
when I issue `M-x shell RET`, as shown here [2]. I filed an issue to
report this problem on this package's GitHub repository [3], but the
developer also don't know how to solve this problem. Here is the
author's description in the above-mentioned issue:

```
Yes, this happens intermittently for me as well. It's because of this call:

comint-mime/comint-mime.el

Lines 225 to 229 in 1431605

(comint-redirect-send-command
(format " . %s\n" (shell-quote-argument
(expand-file-name "comint-mime.sh"
comint-mime-setup-script-dir)))
nil nil t)))

I'm not quite sure what to do about this, since
comint-redirect-send-command is not supposed to print any output. In
any case, the extra prompt annoying but doesn't do any harm.
```

Therefore, I'm here for help to see if there is any solution.

What does self-compiled mean here?

Okay, it means YOU compiled it ...

Right, I do that as well ...
