Universal exported variables (created by `set -xU`) used to show up
both as universal and global variable in child instances of fish.
As a result, when changing an exported universal variable, the
new value would only be visible after a new login (or deleting the
variable from global scope in each fish instance).
Additionally, something like `set -xU EDITOR vim -g` would be imported
into the global scope as a single word resulting in failures to
execute $EDITOR in fish.
We cannot simply give precedence to universal variables, because
another process might have exported the same variable. Instead, we
only skip importing a variable when it is equivalent to an exported
universal variable with the same name. We compare their values after
joining with spaces, hence skipping those imports does not change the
environment fish passes to its children. Only the representation in
fish is changed from `"vim -g"` to `vim -g`.
Closes#5258.
This eliminates the issue #5348 for universal variables.
fish is designed to append to the history file in most cases. However
save_internal_via_appending was never returning success, so we were
always doing the slow rewrite path. Correctly return success.

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.
Previously when propagating explicitly separated output, we would early-out
if the buffer was empty, where empty meant contains no characters. However
it may contain one or more empty strings, in which case we should propagate
those strings.
Remove this footgun "empty" function and handle this properly.
Fixes#5987
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to react if a local fish_complete_path
or fish_function_path were set. However this has never been very well tested
and will become impossible with concurrent execution. Always use the global
values.
$__fish_git_prompt_use_informative_chars will use the informative
chars without requiring informative mode (which is really frickin'
slow!).
See #5726.

This was clearly intended for index, but because it was called "fish"
it was overwritten by the "fish" command man page.
I also added the tutorial and faq. Both of those might not be *ideal*
as man pages (the tutorial makes references to colors that won't show
up), but it's better to provide them than not.

* Prevent not-yet-loaded functions from loaded when erased
Today, `functions --erase $function` does nothing if the function
hasn't been autoloaded yet.
E.g. run, in an interactive session
> functions --erase ls
> type ls
and be amazed that it still shows our default `ls --color=auto`
wrapper function.
This seems counter-intuitive - removing a function ought to remove it,
whether it had been executed before or not.

Instead of requiring a flag to enable newline trimming, invert it so the
flag (now `--no-trim-newlines`) disables newline trimming. This way our
default behavior matches that of sh's `"$(cmd)"`.
Also change newline trimming to trim all newlines instead of just one,
again to match sh's behavior.
The `string collect` subcommand behaves quite similarly in practice to
`string split0 -m 0` in that it doesn't split its output, but it also
takes an optional `--trim-newline` flag to trim a single trailing
newline off of the output.
See issue #159.
Someone has hit the 10MiB limit (and of course it's the number of
javascript packages), and we don't handle it fantastically currently.
And even though you can't pass a variable of that size in one go, it's
plausible that someone might do it in multiple passes.
See #5267.
This is roughly in order of importance.
Buffering is really quite nice, $pipestatus is a new thing, $PATH was
a big hubhub, people seem to like eval...

Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what kind of parser errors

This adds a new mechanism for logging, intended to replace debug().
The entry points are FLOG and FLOGF. FLOG can be used to log a sequence of
arguments, FLOGF is for printf-style formatted strings.
Each call to FLOG and FLOGF requires a category. If logging for a category
is not enabled, there is no effect (and arguments are not evaluated).
Categories may be enabled on the command line via the -d option.
Brace expansion with single words in it is quite useless - `HEAD@{0}`
expanding to `HEAD@0` breaks git.
So we complicate the rule slightly - if there is no variable expansion
or "," inside of braces, they are just treated as literal braces.
Note that this is technically backwards-incompatible, because
echo foo{0}
will now print `foo{0}` instead of `foo0`. However that's a
technicality because the braces were literally useless in that case.
Our tests needed to be adjusted, but that's because they are meant to
exercise this in weird ways.
I don't believe this will break any code in practice.
Fixes#5869.
This keeps all unknown options in $argv, so
```fish
argparse -i a/alpha -- -a banana -o val -w
```
results in $_flag_a set to banana, and $argv set to `-o val -w`.
This allows users to use multiple argparse passes, or to simply avoid
specifying all options e.g. in completions - `systemctl` has 46 of
them, most not having any effect on the completions.
Fixes#5367.
