topic_monitor allows for querying changes posted to one or more topics,
initially sigchld. This will eventually replace the waitpid logic in
process_mark_finished_children().
Comment from the new header:
Topic monitoring support. Topics are conceptually "a thing that can
happen." For example, delivery of a SIGINT, a child process exits, etc. It
is possible to post to a topic, which means that that thing happened.
Associated with each topic is a current generation, which is a 64 bit
value. When you query a topic, you get back a generation. If on the next
query the generation has increased, then it indicates someone posted to
the topic.
For example, if you are monitoring a child process, you can query the
sigchld topic. If it has increased since your last query, it is possible
that your child process has exited.
Topic postings may be coalesced. That is there may be two posts to a given
topic, yet the generation only increases by 1. The only guarantee is that
after a topic post, the current generation value is larger than any value
previously queried.
Tying this all together is the topic_monitor_t. This provides the current
topic generations, and also provides the ability to perform a blocking
wait for any topic to change in a particular topic set. This is the real
power of topics: you can wait for a sigchld signal OR a thread exit.
Changes according to the feedback have been made:
- What is a shell section has been moved before Installation and Start section
- Content changes have been made as suggested in both of the above sections.
Just a bunch of rewriting descriptions and some arguments.
Most arguments here are uncompleteable, and most of these options will
never be used.

This resolves the issue where running pre-compiled Linux packages from
binary package manager repositories lead fish to think that we are not
running under WSL.
- Closes#5619.
- Ping neovim/neovim#7330
NetBSD's man is unusual in that it doesn't understand an empty
$MANPATH component as "the system man path", and doesn't have a
`manpath` or `man --path`.
It has a `-m` option that would be useful, but other mans also have a
`-m` option that isn't, so detecting it is tough.
It does have a `-p` option that almost does what one would want here,
so we hack around it to make things work.
Fixes#5657.

This happens on OpenIndiana/Solaris/Illumos/SunOS.
Elsewhere we use read_blocked, which already returned in this
case (and which we might want to use here as well!).
On some systems, this sometimes uses unicode quotation marks.
Not on mine, but on Travis it does.
The only other workaround I can think of is setting locale to C, but
that implies not being able to test anything unicode-related in the
entire invocation tests.
So for now disable this test.
It turns out the default gettext on the sunny operating system with
the many names interprets at least `\n` itself, so we'd end up
swallowing it.
This allows us to move past the interactive tests and onto the expect
ones.
See #5472.
Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS/Solaris has an rm/rmdir that tries to
protect the user by not allowing them to delete $PWD.
Normally, this would be a good thing as deleting $PWD is a stupid
thing to do. Except in this case, we absolutely need to do that.
So instead we weasel around it by invoking an sh to cd out of the
directory to then invoke an `rmdir` to delete it. That should throw
off any attempts at protection (we could also have tried $PWD/. or
similar, but that's possibly still protected against).
This is the last failing test on
Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS/Solaris/afunnyquip, so:
Fixes#5472.
This tested #1728, where redirecting a directory (`begin; something;
end < .`) would cause `status` to misbehave.
Unfortunately, on Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS, this returns a different
error (EINVAL instead of EISDIR), so we can't check that with our test harness, because
we can't redirect it.
Since it's not important that this gives the same error across
systems (and indeed we provide no way of intercepting the error!),
use an invocation test instead, because that allows different output per-uname.
See #5472.
Matches upstream path_helper which is invoked in /etc/profile and only
applies to login shells. Enables running interactive, non-login shells
with altered PATH values.
Reverts change in c0f832a7, which reverts change in adbaddf.
`fish_title` as invoked by fish itself is not running in an interactive
context, and attempts to read from the input fd (e.g. via `read`) cause
fish to segfault, go into an infinite loop, or hang at the read prompt
depending on the exact command line and fish version.
This patch addresses that by explicitly closing the input fd when
invoking `fish_title`.
Reported by @floam in #5629. May close that issue, but situation is
unclear.
