We also might want to remove the mailing list and/or IRC channel as I
think most devs aren't on them anymore, but let's just add the channel
that I prefer first.

This was undocumented, not all that useful and potentially unwanted.
In particular it means that things like
mysql -p(read)
will still keep the password in history.
Also it allows us to simply implement asking for the history deletion
term.
See #5791.
This makes the following changes:
1. Events in background threads are executed in those threads, instead of
being silently dropped
2. Blocked events are now per-parser instead of global
3. Events are posted in builtin_set instead of within the environment stack
The last one means that we no longer support event handlers for implicit
sets like (example) argv. Instead only the `set` builtin (and also `cd`)
post variable-change events.
Events from universal variable changes are still not fully rationalized.
This cuts down on the wcs2string here by ~25%.
The better solution would be to cache narrow versions of $PATH, since
we compute that over and over and over and over again, while it rarely changes.
Or we could add a full path-cache (where which command is), but that's
much harder to invalidate.
See #5905.
This sets the explicit path to the default one, which should be okay,
since the default path never changes (not even if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
does).
Then it saves a narrow version of that, which saves most of the time
needed to `sync` in most cases.
Fixes#5905.
Note that this isn't technically *w*util, but the differences between
the functions are basically just whether they do the wcs2string
themselves or not.
This fixes a race condition in the topic monitor. A thread may decide to
enter the wait queue, but before it does the generation list changes, and
so our thread will wait forever, resulting in a hang.
It also simplifies the implementation of the topic monitor considerably;
on reflection the whole "metagen" thing isn't providing any value and we
should just compare generations directly.
In the new design, we have a lock-protected list of current generations,
along with a boolean as to whether someone is reading from the pipe. The
reader (only one at a time) is responsible for broadcasting notifications
via a condition variable.
