[feature] Add edscript as a shortcut for running ed with script?

Hi y'all,

I'm using ed for scripting text modification lately. And what often bugs
me is that scripting is so inconvenient with ed. To edit a file with a
script taken from another file, one has to do

ed input.txt < script.txt

which is unintuitive, I believe. What if it was this?

edscript script.txt input.txt

I find this more logical—we run ed script upon the file.

I realize that ed is a forever stable project and some additional
features are likely not the focus, but I couldn't just ignore this
use-case biting me lately.

Best of luck,
