$__fish_git_prompt_use_informative_chars will use the informative
chars without requiring informative mode (which is really frickin'
slow!).

This previously effectively checked `string split ' '`s return status,
which was false if it didn't split anything. And while that should be
true if getent fails (because it should produce no output), it's also
true if it doesn't print a line with multiple aliases. Which should be
fairly typical.
Instead we use our new-found $pipestatus to check what getent returns,
in the assumption that it'll fail if it doesn't support hosts.

`getent hosts` is expensive-ish - ~50ms, so we don't want to run it
twice just to figure out it works.
Apparently this works everywhere but CYGWIN and possibly older
OpenBSD, but we don't want to explicitly blacklist those.

25afc9b377 made this unnecessary by
having child processes wait for a signal after fork(), but this change
was later reverted. If we artificially slow down fish (e.g. with a sleep)
after the fork call, we see commands getting backgrounded by mistake.
Put back the tcsetgrp() call.
This was clearly intended for index, but because it was called "fish"
it was overwritten by the "fish" command man page.
I also added the tutorial and faq. Both of those might not be *ideal*
as man pages (the tutorial makes references to colors that won't show
up), but it's better to provide them than not.

This makes test_low_level, test_interactive, test_invocation, and
test_fishscript independent. This allows running a smaller subset of tests.
To prevent all tests running in parallel, we also have new targets
serial_test_low_level, serial_test_interactive, etc. which have the
dependency chain that enforces serial execution.
* Prevent not-yet-loaded functions from loaded when erased
Today, `functions --erase $function` does nothing if the function
hasn't been autoloaded yet.
E.g. run, in an interactive session
> functions --erase ls
> type ls
and be amazed that it still shows our default `ls --color=auto`
wrapper function.
This seems counter-intuitive - removing a function ought to remove it,
whether it had been executed before or not.

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.
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.
This adds support for .check files inside the tests directory. .check
files are tests designed to be run with littlecheck.
Port printf test to littlecheck and remove the printf.in test.
Our existing .rst files have lines with trailing whitespace in them,
which I can only assume is deliberate, so update the editorconfig to
stop trimming trailing whitespace for these files.
It's always a bit annoying that `*` requires quoting.
So we allow "x" as an alternative, only it needs to be followed by
whitespace to distinguish it from "0x" hexadecimal notation.
To support distinct parsers having different working directories, we need
to keep the working directory alive, and also retain a non-path reference
to it.
Because an exported universal variable must be exported in all variable
stacks, explicit invalidation is infeasible. Switch the universal variables
to a generation count.
Prior to this fix, fish would invalidate the exported variable list
whenever an exported variable changes. However we soon will not have a
single "exported variable list." If a global variable changes, it is
infeasible to find all exported variable lists and invalidate them.
Switch to a new model where we store a list of generation counts. Every
time an exported variable changes, the node gets a new generation. If the
current generation list does not match the cached one, then we know that
our exported variable list is stale.
