Continue passing -X / --no-init for less < v530

The less -F / --quit-if-one-screen option is buggy before v530. To work
around this, pass --no-init less versions older than 530.

The --no-init option was previously passed; it was removed in d15a51897d
for mouse support. Unfortunately it looks like we can't have mouse
support and --quit-if-one-screen on macOS shipped less (version 487).

It's worth fixing this because otherwise history and help is just not
printed on stock macOS.

Relevant is https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107315/less-quit-if-one-screen-without-no-init

Fixes #8157.

- ``cd ""`` no longer crashes fish (:issue:`8147`).
- Running a commandline consisting of just spaces now deletes an ephemeral (starting with space) history item again (:issue:`8232`).
- Command substitutions no longer respect job control, instead running inside fish's own process group (:issue:`8172`). This more closely matches other shells, and improves :kbd:`Control-C` reliability inside a command substitution.
- ``history`` and ``__fish_print_help`` now properly support ``less`` before version 530, including the version that ships with macOS. (:issue:`8157`).
