Mark Griffiths cb6d5d76c8 update lexicon for latest docs
Closes #2699

Fixes issues with:
* 'string' function synopsis
* Redirection display issues
* Better file & path detection
* Rendering of % & @ chars in both html and man
* @ symbol in tutorial

Improves robustness by implementing an @EOL marker to prevent hold buffer dumping extra chars after the end of an expression.

Added new '{{' and '}}' meta-chars for when you want curly braces in a regexp that was previously tripping up the lexicon.

Improve man/html presentation consistency for
* string
* printf
* prompt_pwd
* type

Use cli-styling for 'practical' examples.

Add <bs> tag for presenting content with preceding backslash.

\subsection prompt_pwd-description Description
prompt_pwd is a function to print the current working directory in a way suitable for prompts. It will replace the home directory with "~" and shorten every path component but the last to a default of one character.
To change the number of characters per path component, set $fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length to the number of characters. Setting it to 0 or an invalid value will disable shortening entirely.
