Apparently, in zsh, Meta+H can be used to display the manpage for
the current command. This commit adds this zsh feature to fish shell.
The F1 keybinding is left, although it's now secondary according to
fish help, as some terminal emulators don't let the user press F1 key.
IFS is used for more than just the read builtin. Setting it to the empty
string also disables line-splitting in command substitution, and it's
done this for the past 7 years. Some day we may have a better way to do
this, but for now, document the current solution.
The docs claimed that the $HOME and $USER variables could only be
changed by the root user. This is untrue. They can be changed by
non-root users as well.
Completely fixes#1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused
it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and
generally prettier.
