On ctrl-l we send `\e[2J` (Erase in Display). Some terminals interpret
this to scroll the screen content instead of clearing it. This happens
on VTE-based terminals like gnome-terminal for example.
The traditional behavior of ctrl-l erasing the screen (but not the
rest of the scrollback) is weird because:
1. `ctrl-l` is the easiest and most portable way to push the prompt
to the top (and repaint after glitches I guess). But it's also a
destructive action, truncating scrollback. I use it for scrolling
and am frequently surprised when my scroll back is missing
information.
2. the amount of lines erased depends on the window size.
It would be more intuitive to erase by prompts, or erase the text
in the terminal selection.
Let's use scrolling behavior on all terminals.
The new command could also be named "push-to-scrollback", for
consistency with others. But if we anticipate a want to add other
scrollback-related commands, "scrollback-push" is better.
This causes tests/checks/tmux-history-search.fish to fail; that test
seems pretty broken; M-d (alt-d) is supposed to delete the current
search match but there is a rogue "echo" that is supposed to invalidate
the search match. I'm not sure how that ever worked.
Also, pexepect doesn't seem to support cursor position reporting,
so work around that.

Closes#10934
Popular operating systems support shift-delete to delete the selected item
in an autocompletion widgets. We already support this in the history pager.
Let's do the same for up-arrow history search.

See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
It appears that the shift-delete key escape sequence is not being generated
because there's no mapping for it in screen-256color, causing the test to fail.
Switch to using f1 for the test.
Commit 3b30d92b6 (Commit transient edit when closing pager, 2022-08-31)
inadvertently introduced two regressions to history search:
1. It made Escape keeps the selected history entry,
instead of restoring the commandline before history search.
2. It made history search commands add undo entries.
Fix both of this issues.
A history search ends when you move the cursor, but the commandline inserted by
history search is still marked as transient. This means that the next history
search will clear the transient commandline. This means we are dropping an undo
point, for example:
echo 11
echo 1
echo autosuggestion
echo^P # commandline is "echo 1"
^A # stop history search
^P # commandline is "echo 11"
^Z # Bug: commandline goes back to "echo", but it should be "echo 1"
In the worst case, we are switching from line-search to token-search (see
the attached test case). Clearing the transient edit means the line is gone
and only the token is left on the command line.
