CHANGELGO: Add a bug fix section, document bind change

I suggest promoting a few of the better fixes or better new
features to 'Notable improvements and fixes'. There's just 1 item
there.

Hello thi…
- ``string repeat`` no longer allocates the entire output at once, instead using chunks. This needs less memory and has less of a delay with long strings. Also it was possible to make fish crash by making it allocate more memory than the system had. (:issue:`9124`)
- ``string`` is now faster when reading large strings from stdin (:issue:`9139`).
- The read limit is now restored to the default when $fish_read_limit is unset (:issue:`9129`).
- ``printf`` no longer tries to interpret the first argument as an option (:issue:`9132`).
- Fish will now mark the extent of many errors with a squiggly line instead of just a caret (``^``) at the beginning (:issue:`9130`). For example::
checks/set.fish (line 471): for: a,b: invalid variable name. See `help identifiers`
for a,b in y 1 z 3
^~^
Interactive improvements
------------------------
- If the terminal definition for $TERM can't be used, fish now tries using the "xterm-256color" and "xterm" definitions before "ansi" and "dumb". As the majority of terminal emulators in common use are now more or less xterm-compatible (often even explicitly claiming the xterm-256color entry), this should often result in a fully or almost fully usable terminal (:issue:`9026`).
- The new environment variable ``$fish_cursor_selection_mode`` can be used to configure whether the command line selection includes (``inclusive``) the character under the cursor or not (``exclusive``). The new default is ``exclusive``. Use ``set fish_cursor_selection_mode inclusive`` to get the previous behavior back (:issue:`7762`).
- Fish's completion pager now fills half the terminal on first tab press instead of only 4 rows, which should make results visible more often and save key presses, without constantly snapping fish to the top of the terminal (:issue:`9105`, :issue:`2698`).
- ``bind`` output is now syntax-highlighted when used interacively.
- The :kbd:`Alt-H` binding will now show the manpage of the command under cursor instead of the always skipping ``sudo`` and the likes (:issue:`9020`).
Resolved in 3.6.0
-----------------
- The history search text for a token search is now highlighted correctly if the line contains multiple instances of that text.
- process-exit and job-exit events are now generated for all background jobs, including those launched from event handlers (:issue:`9096`).
- A crash when completing a token that contained both a potential glob and a quoted variable expansion was fixed (:issue:`9137`).
- If ``$fish_color_valid_path`` contains an actual color instead of just modifiers, those will be used for valid paths even if the underlying color isn't "normal" (:issue:`9159`).
- ``prompt_pwd`` no longer accidentally overwrites a global or universal ``$fish_prompt_pwd_full_dirs`` when called with the ``-d`` or ``--full-length-dirs`` option (:issue:`9123`).
- A bug which caused fish to freeze or exit after running a command which does not preserve the foreground process group was fixed (:issue:`9181`).
- The "Disco" sample prompt no longer prints an error in some working directories (:issue:`9164`). If you saved this prompt, you should run ``fish_config prompt save disco`` again.
- ``math`` now actually handles division-by-zero while computing and gives it a bespoke error, as well as augmenting some errors with their extent (:issue:`9190`). This changes behavior in some limited cases. E.g.::
math min 1 / 0, 5
would previously print "5" because in floating point division "1 / 0" yields infinite, and 5 is smaller than infinite. Instead, ``math`` will now error out.
- Fish calls external commands via the given path again instead of always making it absolute. This can be seen e.g. when you run a bash script and check ``$0`` (:issue:`9143`).
