This allows the rust code to free up C++ resources allocated for a callback even
when the callback isn't executed (as opposed to requiring the callback to run
and at the end of the callback cleaning up all allocated resources).
Also add type-erased destructor registration to callback_t. This allows for
freeing variables allocated by the callback for debounce_t's
perform_with_callback() that don't end up having their completion called due to
a timeout.
The translation is fairly direct though it adds some duplication, for example
there are multiple "match" statements that mimic function overloading.
Rust has no overloading, and we cannot have generic methods in the Node trait
(due to a Rust limitation, the error is like "cannot be made into an object")
so we include the type name in method names.
Give clients like "indent_visitor_t" a Rust companion ("IndentVisitor")
that takes care of the AST traversal while the AST consumption remains
in C++ for now. In future, "IndentVisitor" should absorb the entirety of
"indent_visitor_t". This pattern requires that "fish_indent" be exposed
includable header to the CXX bridge.
Alternatively, we could define FFI wrappers for recursive AST traversal.
Rust requires we separate the AST visitors for "mut" and "const"
scenarios. Take this opportunity to concretize both visitors:
The only client that requires mutable access is the populator. To match the
structure of the C++ populator which makes heavy use of function overloading,
we need to add a bunch of functions to the trait. Since there is no other
mutable visit, this seems acceptable.
The "const" visitors never use "will_visit_fields_of()" or
"did_visit_fields_of()", so remove them (though this is debatable).
Like in the C++ implementation, the AST nodes themselves are largely defined
via macros. Union fields like "Statement" and "ArgumentOrRedirection"
do currently not use macros but may in future.
This commit also introduces a precedent for a type that is defined in one
CXX bridge and used in another one - "ParseErrorList". To make this work
we need to manually define "ExternType".
There is one annoyance with CXX: functions that take explicit lifetime
parameters require to be marked as unsafe. This makes little sense
because functions that return `&Foo` with implicit lifetime can be
misused the same way on the C++ side.
One notable change is that we cannot directly port "find_block_open_keyword()"
(which is used to compute an error) because it relies on the stack of visited
nodes. We cannot modify a stack of node references while we do the "mut"
walk. Happily, an idiomatic solution is easy: we can tell the AST visitor
to backtrack to the parent node and create the error there.
Since "node_t::accept_base" is no longer a template we don't need the
"node_visitation_t" trampoline anymore.
The added copying at the FFI boundary makes things slower (memcpy dominates
the profile) but it's not unusable, which is good news:

Leftovers:
- Enum variants are still snakecase; I didn't get around to changing this yet.
- "ast_type_to_string()" still returns a snakecase name. This could be
changed since it's not user visible.
Most of it is duplicated, hence untested.
Functions like mbrtowc are not exposed by the libc crate, so declare them
ourselves.
Since we don't know the definition of C macros, add two big hacks to make
this work:
1. Replace MB_LEN_MAX and mbstate_t with values (resp types) that should
be large enough for any implementation.
2. Detect the definition of MB_CUR_MAX in the build script. This requires
more changes for each new libc. We could also use this approach for 1.
Additionally, this commit brings a small behavior change to
read_unquoted_escape(): we cannot decode surrogate code points like \UDE01
into a Rust char, so use � (\UFFFD, replacement character) instead.
Previously, we added such code points to a wcstring; looks like they were
ignored when printed.
wcs2string converts a wide string to a narrow one. The result is
null-terminated and may also contain interior null-characters.
std::string allows this.
Rust's null-terminated string, CString, does not like interior null-characters.
This means we will need to use Vec<u8> or OsString for the places where we
use interior null-characters.
On the other hand, we want to use CString for places that require a
null-terminator, because other Rust types don't guarantee the null-terminator.
Turns out there is basically no overlap between the two use cases, so make
it two functions. Their equivalents in Rust will have the same name, so
we'll only need to adjust the type when porting.

The way cxx bridge works, it doesn't recognize any types from another module as
being shared cxx bridge types with generations native to both C++ and Rust,
meaning every module that was going to use function pointers would have to
define its own `c_void` type (because cxx bridge doesn't recognize any of
libc::c_void, std::ffi::c_void, or autocxx::c_void).
FFI on other platforms has long used the equivalent of `uint8_t *` as an
alternative to `void *` for code where `void` was not available or was
undesirable for some reason. We can join the club - this way we can always use
`* {const|mut} u8` in our rust code and `uint8_t *` in our C++ code to pass
around parameters or values over the C abi.
I needed to rename some types already ported to rust so they don't clash with
their still-extant cpp counterparts. Helper ffi functions added to avoid needing
to dynamically allocate an FdMonitorItem for every fd (we use dozens per basic
prompt).
I ported some functions from cpp to rust that are used only in the backend but
without removing their existing cpp counterparts so cpp code can continue to use
their version of them (`wperror` and `make_detached_pthread`).
I ran into issues porting line-by-line logic because rust inverts the behavior
of `std::remove_if(..)` by making it (basically) `Vec::retain_if(..)` so I
replaced bools with an explict enum to make everything clearer.
I'll port the cpp tests for this separately, for now they're using ffi.
Porting closures was ugly. It's nothing hard, but it's very ugly as now each
capturing lambda has been changed into an explicit struct that contains its
parameters (that needs to be dynamically allocated), a standalone callback
(member) function to replace the lambda contents, and a separate trampoline
function to call it from rust over the shared C abi (not really relevant to
x86_64 w/ its single calling convention but probably needed on other platforms).
I don't like that `fd_monitor.rs` has its own `c_void`. I couldn't find a way to
move that to `ffi.rs` but still get cxx bridge to consider it a shared POD.
Every time I moved it to a different module, it would consider it to be an
opaque rust type instead. I worry this means we're going to have multiple
`c_void1`, `c_void2`, etc. types as we continue to port code to use function
pointers.
Also, rust treats raw pointers as foreign so you can't do `impl Send for * const
Foo` even if `Foo` is from the same module. That necessitated a wrapper type
(`void_ptr`) that implements `Send` and `Sync` so we can move stuff between
threads.
The code in fd_monitor_t has been split into two objects, one that is used by
the caller and a separate one associated with the background thread (this is
made nice and clean by rust's ownership model). Objects not needed under the
lock (i.e. accessed by the background thread exclusively) were moved to the
separate `BackgroundFdMonitor` type.
We should fix this warning eventually. Silence it for now to make Clippy
pass without warnings, which makes it much more useful.

rustfmt removes the "::" prefix from qualifiers. This breaks the build because
I think a later "pub use ffi::*" results in "std" being an ambiguous reference.
