08eac28bd8 Add individual documentation pages for string's subcommands
This adds string-x.rst for each subcommand x of string. The main page
(string.rst) is not changed, except that examples are shown directly after
each subcommand.  The subcommand sections in string.rst are created by
textual inclusion of parts of the string-x.rst files.

Subcommand man pages can be viewed with either of:

```
man string collect
man string-collect
string collect <press F1 or Alt-h>
string collect -h
```

While `string -h ...` still prints the full help.

Closes #5968

2dbbaa6a97 Honor required parameters in completions for builtins
This adds the -r (or -x) flag to completions of builtins' options that have a required_argument.

181e44d331 Invert the flag for string collect
Instead of requiring a flag to enable newline trimming, invert it so the
flag (now `--no-trim-newlines`) disables newline trimming. This way our
default behavior matches that of sh's `"$(cmd)"`.

Also change newline trimming to trim all newlines instead of just one,
again to match sh's behavior.

b41e5cbbb7 Add string collect
The `string collect` subcommand behaves quite similarly in practice to
`string split0 -m 0` in that it doesn't split its output, but it also
takes an optional `--trim-newline` flag to trim a single trailing
newline off of the output.

See issue #159.

1049bed5f8 string completions: add -e, -f, --no-empty, shorten -d's
I hope this is now complete.

Also, shorten enough descriptions to make `string match --<TAB>`
show a two column pager with 80 cols.

We really should have shown more retraint in the design of `string`,
not all of the flags required both a long and short option created.

e31a93040e Add completion for string
A bit simplistic since we can't complete e.g. regexes properly, but it
does the job.

Fixes #2543
