1d5e715008 source: Return error instead of implicitly reading from tty
For things like

    source $undefined

or
    source (nooutput)

it was quite annoying that it read from tty.

Instead we now require a "-" as the filename to read from the tty.

This does not apply to reading from stdin if it's redirected, so

    something | source

still works.

Fixes #2633.

3f3b3a7006 Export arrays as colon delimited, and support path-style variables
This commit begins to bake in a notion of path-style variables.

Prior to this fix, fish would export arrays as ASCII record separator
delimited, except for a whitelist (PATH, CDPATH, MANPATH). This is
surprising and awkward for other programs to deal with, and there's no way
to get similar behavior for other variables like GOPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

This commit does the following:

1. Exports all arrays as colon delimited strings, instead of RS.

2. Introduces a notion of "path variable." A path variable will be
"colon-delimited" which means it gets colon-separated in quoted expansion,
and automatically splits on colons. In this commit we only do the exporting
part.

Colons are not escaped in exporting; this is deliberate to support uses
like

    `set -x PYTHONPATH "/foo:/bar"`

which ought to work (and already do, we don't want  to make a compat break
here).

e212269ab1 Add status fish-path
Retrieves the fully resolved path to the currently executing fish binary
(regardless of PATH). Can be used to ensure that the same fish is
launched again from a script.

`get_executable_path()` moved from fish binary to libfish, also cleaned
up some duplicated (but differing!) definitions of PATH_MAX (which was
used by that function) in the process.

0f0bb1e10f Don't resolve symlinks with cd
This switches fish to a "virtual" PWD, where it no longer uses getcwd to
discover its PWD but instead synthesizes it based on normalizing cd against
the $PWD variable.

Both pwd and $PWD contain the virtual path. pwd is taught about -P to
return the physical path, and -L the logical path (which is the default).

444f9f8715 Add separation of "preset" bindings
This allows for marking certain bindings as part of a preset, which allows us to

- only erase those when switching presets
- go back to the preset binding when erasing a user binding
- only show user customization if requested
- make bare bind statements in config.fish work (!!!11elf!!!)

Fixes #5191.

81a987c39c Fix range expansion with negative ends
If just one of the range ends is negative, this now forces direction away from it.

I.e. if the beginning is negative, we go in reverse.
If the end is negative, we go forwards.

This fixes cases like

    $var[2..-1]

if $var only has one element.
