Add individual documentation pages for string's subcommands This adds string-x.rst for each subcommand x of string. The main page (string.rst) is not changed, except that examples are shown directly after each subcommand. The subcommand sections in string.rst are created by textual inclusion of parts of the string-x.rst files. Subcommand man pages can be viewed with either of: ``` man string collect man string-collect string collect <press F1 or Alt-h> string collect -h ``` While `string -h ...` still prints the full help. Closes #5968

string-replace - replace substrings
===================================
Synopsis
--------
.. BEGIN SYNOPSIS
::
string replace [(-a | --all)] [(-f | --filter)] [(-i | --ignore-case)] [(-r | --regex)] [(-q | --quiet)] PATTERN REPLACEMENT [STRING...]
.. END SYNOPSIS
Description
-----------
.. BEGIN DESCRIPTION
``string replace`` is similar to ``string match`` but replaces non-overlapping matching substrings with a replacement string and prints the result. By default, PATTERN is treated as a literal substring to be matched.
If ``-r`` or ``--regex`` is given, PATTERN is interpreted as a Perl-compatible regular expression, and REPLACEMENT can contain C-style escape sequences like ``\t`` as well as references to capturing groups by number or name as ``$n`` or ``${n}``.
If you specify the ``-f`` or ``--filter`` flag then each input string is printed only if a replacement was done. This is useful where you would otherwise use this idiom: ``a_cmd | string match pattern | string replace pattern new_pattern``. You can instead just write ``a_cmd | string replace --filter pattern new_pattern``.
Exit status: 0 if at least one replacement was performed, or 1 otherwise.
.. END DESCRIPTION
