19004642ba __fish_apropos: Define again on non-macOS
This had a weirdly broken if condition.

b9b2010342 rebuild whatis database weekly, not daily
I still don't think we even address rebuilding
manpage completions yet. Maybe they could share a
solution.

0e03e49eb9 __fish_apropos: prepend $argv with ^
Because macOS' `apropos` is just using grep, and we only need
a prefix match for __fish_describe_command, we can shave off
some ok total execution time here.

85e3381480 __fish_apropos: refactor, limit to 10.15+, change default cache dir.
No longer uses the __fish_apropos hack on every version of macOS.
Juat Catalina+.

The whatis database generated and replaced daily is 2 megabytes on
my computer, and in ~/.cache on a home dir might wind up on a net
mount or something annoying. or, definitely it's backed up by default.

It's wiser to throw that junk in with other cache files on the system
aka DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR, and only use the XDG directory if
someone specifically configured that.

Mainly, this just means at least it won't automatically get backed
up by Time Machine and stuff every day, which is no big deal but
y'know...

Rearranged stuff a little to not shell out every time.

dfebfcf376 __fish_apropos: Also add "--" separator
This actually *worked* in my tests which confuses me.

It really shouldn't, `apropos -foo` will complain about "-o" not being
a valid option.

It should be `apropos -- -foo`.

Now, of course there are awful apropos implementations, so let's see
if someone complains

a6686ca310 Run makewhatis in the background
In the new __fish_apropos, makewhatis is run explicitly to generate the
whatis database. However this can be a little slow. Run it in the
background, after the apropos call completes so as to avoid a weird
race.

This means that descriptions may not be available the first time the
user invokes it, but that's better than appearing to hang for a while.
