This completes the refactoring of the `set` builtin. It also removes a
seemingly never used feature of the `set` command. It also eliminates all
the lint warnings about this module.
Fixes#4236
When reporting whether a boolean flag was seen report the actual flags
rather than a summary count. For example, if you have option spec `h/help`
and we parse `-h --help -h` don't do the equivalent of `set _flag_h 3`
do `set _flag_h -h --help -h`.
Partial fix for #4226
When executing a function, local-exported (`set -lx`) variables
previously were not accessible at all. This is weird e.g. in case of
aliases, since
```fish
set -lx PAGER cat
git something # which will call $PAGER
```
would not work if `git` were a function, even if that ends up calling
`command git`.
Now, we copy these variables, so functions get a local-exported copy.
```fish
function x
echo $var
set var wurst
echo $var
end
set -lx var banana
x # prints "banana" and "wurst"
echo $var # prints "banana"
```
One weirdness here is that, if a variable is both local and global,
the local-copy takes precedence:
```fish
set -gx var banana
set -lx var pineapple
echo $var # prints "pineapple"
x # from above, prints "pineapple" and "wurst"
echo $var # still prints "pineapple"
set -el var # deletes local version
echo $var # "banana" again
```
I don't think there is any more consistent way to handle this - the
local version is the one that is accessed first, so it should also be
written to first.
Global-exported variables are _not_ copied, instead they still offer
full read-write access.

In the rare case that we don't inherit $HOME _and_ can't read it from
/etc/passwd, this makes it so instead of triggering an assert() $HOME
is set to the empty list.
Tilde-expansion expands to nothing in such a case (and a string-empty
$HOME), `cd` errors out.
Fixes#4229.
Fish 2.6.0 introduced a regression that keeps setting
`fish_escape_delay_ms` as a uvar from working. This also fixes a related
problem: callbacks generated from the initial loading of universal vars
were not being acted on.
Fixes#4196
Also stop special-casing `printf` as if it were a syntactical keyword
with respect to handling `printf --help`. It should use the same pattern
as every other builtin command.
The code for reporting parser errors needs a major overhaul. But rather
than do that I'm going to add another hack in the hope that this doesn't
introduce yet another problem.
Fixes#4221
The recent change to switch `psub` to use `argparse` caused it to use
a fifo by default because it inadvertently fixed a long standing bug in
the fish script. This changes the behavior back to `psub --file` being
the default behavior and introduces a `--fifo` flag. It also updates the
documentation to make it clearer when and why `--fifo` mode should not
be used.
Fixes#4222
While updating the `history` function to use `argparse` I realized it is
useful to define an option that can be used in three ways. First by
using the short flag; e.g., `-n NNN`. Second by using the long flag;
e.g., `--max NNN`. Third, as an implicit int flag; e.g., `-NNN`. This
use case is now supported by a spec of the form `n#max`.
A recent regression to the `alias` command points out the need for more
unit tests of its behavior. I also decided to use it as an opportunity
to normalize the output of just `alias` to list aliases.
The previous change to use `argparse` for parity with every other
builtin and function introduced a regression. Invocations that start
with a negative number can fail because the negative value looks like an
invalid flag.
