docs: Link builtins

When we say "the XYZ command/builtin", we should typically include a
link. The exceptions are

- In the documentation for that command - no need to link to ulimit in
  the ulimit page
- When we've already linked before - not every thing needs to be
  clickable, or clicking it will cause the browser to mark fifty words
  as visited. This is roughly what wikipedia does for crosslinks.

If no process is specified, the most recently-used job is removed (like :ref:`bg <cmd-bg>` and :ref:`fg <cmd-fg>`). If one or more PIDs are specified, jobs with the specified process IDs are removed from the job list. Invalid jobs are ignored and a warning is printed.
If a job is stopped, it is sent a signal to continue running, and a warning is printed. It is not possible to use the ``bg`` builtin to continue a job once it has been disowned.

``disown`` returns 0 if all specified jobs were disowned successfully, and 1 if any problems were encountered.

``fish_key_reader`` is used to study input received from the terminal and can help with key binds. The program is interactive and works on standard input. Individual characters themselves and their hexadecimal values are displayed.
The tool will write an example ``bind`` command matching the character sequence captured to stdout. If the character sequence matches a special key name (see ``bind --key-names``), both ``bind CHARS ...`` and ``bind -k KEYNAME ...`` usage will be shown. Additional details about the characters received, such as the delay between chars, are written to stderr.

Autoloading also won't work for `event handlers <#event>`_, since fish cannot know that a function is supposed to be executed when an event occurs when it hasn't yet loaded the function. See the `event handlers <#event>`_ section for more information.
Autoloading is not applicable to functions created by the ``alias`` command. For functions simple enough that you prefer to use the ``alias`` command to define them you'll need to put those commands in your ``~/.config/fish/config.fish`` script or some other script run when the shell starts.

If you are developing another program, you may wish to install functions which are available for all users of the fish shell on a system. They can be installed to the "vendor" functions directory. As this path may vary from system to system, the ``pkgconfig`` framework should be used to discover this path with the output of ``pkg-config --variable functionsdir fish``. Your installation system should support a custom path to override the pkgconfig path, as other distributors may need to alter it easily.
@ -418,7 +418,7 @@ Conditional execution of code and flow control
There are four fish builtins that let you execute commands only if a specific criterion is met. These builtins are :ref:`if <cmd-if>`, :ref:`switch <cmd-switch>`, :ref:`and <cmd-and>` and :ref:`or <cmd-or>`.
The ``switch`` command is used to execute one of possibly many blocks of commands depending on the value of a string. See the documentation for :ref:`switch <cmd-switch>` for more information.

The exit status of the last run command substitution is available in the `status <#variables-status>`_ variable if the substitution occurs in the context of a :ref:`set <cmd-set>` command.
Only part of the output can be used, see `index range expansion <#expand-index-range>`_ for details.
Fish has a default limit of 100 MiB on the amount of data a command substitution can output. If the limit is exceeded the entire command, not just the substitution, is failed and ``$status`` is set to 122. You can modify the limit by setting the ``fish_read_limit`` variable at any time including in the environment before fish starts running. If you set it to zero then no limit is imposed. This is a safety mechanism to keep the shell from consuming too much memory if a command outputs an unreasonable amount of data, typically your operating system also has a limit, and it's often much lower. Note that this limit also affects how much data the ``read`` command will process.
