Allow switch with something that expands to nothing

Meaning empty variables, command substitutions that don't print
anything.

A switch without an argument

```fish
switch
   case ...
end
```

is still a syntax error, and more than one argument is still a runtime
error.

The none-argument matches either an empty-string `case ''` or a
catch-all `case '*'`.

Fixes #5677.

Fixes #4943.

- Local values for `fish_complete_path` and `fish_function_path` are now ignored; only their global values are respected.
- Empty universal variables may now be exported (#5992).
- `string split` had a bug where empty strings would be dropped if the output was only empty strings; this has been fixed (#5987).
- `switch` now allows arguments that expand to nothing, like empty variables (#5677).
### Syntax changes and new commands
- Brace expansion now only takes place if the braces include a "," or a variable expansion, so things like `git reset HEAD@{0}` now work (#5869).
