320cb6857f an invalid flag to function is handled wrong
Specifically, an invalid flag keeps the function from being defined but
does not emit an error message.

Fixes #2827

cfefaaf4ee revert the --shadow-builtin flag
Implementing the --shadow-builtin flag has proven to be highly controversial.
Revert the introduction of that flag to the `function` command. If someone
shoots themselves in the foot by redefining a builtin as a function that's
their problem and not our responsibility to protect them from doing so.

51468b7646 add function --shadow-builtin flag
It's currently too easy for someone to bork their shell by doing something
like `function test; return 0; end`. That's obviously a silly, contrived,
example but the point is that novice users who learn about functions are
prone to do something like that without realizing it will bork the shell. Even
expert users who know about the `test` builtin might forget that, say, `pwd`
is a builtin.

This change adds a `--shadow-builtin` flag that must be specified to
indicate you know what you're doing.

Fixes #3000

cfc06203e7 Add new functions flag -V/--inherit-variable
--inherit-variable takes a variable name and snapshots its current
value. When the function is executed, it will have a local variable with
this value already defined. Printing the function source will include
synthesized `set -l` lines for the values.

This is primarily useful for functions that are created on the fly, such
as in `psub`.
