e3c67ae229 Reword debugging section in language docs
- Clean up the wording a little.
- Highlight the limitations of the "debugger" more clearly and don't mislead
  people into thinking it's possible to really interactively set/remove
  breakpoints except in select circumstances.

Sidenote: I can't believe we're using a markup language that doesn't support
nested inline markup. What a crying shame, rST!

git prompt: Interpret values of "1", "yes" or "true" as true for bools instead of relying on defined-or-not (#9274)

1e7a4b076d vi-mode: Bind "/" to history-pager
This is unused currently, so we can just use it here. Ctrl-s as the
inverse stays because that's shared.

52dcfe11af Make \x the same as \X
Up to now, in normal locales \x was essentially the same as \X, except
that it errored if given a value > 0x7f.

That's kind of annoying and useless.

A subtle change is that `\xHH` now represents the character (if any)
encoded by the byte value "HH", so even for values <= 0x7f if that's
not the same as the ASCII value we would diverge.

I do not believe anyone has ever run fish on a system where that
distinction matters. It isn't a thing for UTF-8, it isn't a thing for
ASCII, it isn't a thing for UTF-16, it isn't a thing for any extended
ASCII scheme - ISO8859-X, it isn't a thing for SHIFT-JIS.

I am reasonably certain we are making that same assumption in other
places.

57175a80c0 complete docs: When to use old-style for short options
There are many applications with "primitive" argument parsing capabalities that
cannot handle munging two short options together (`-xf` for `-x -f`) or a short
option and its required value (`-dall` for `-d all`). To prevent fish from
suggesting munged arguments/payloads, the options (both long and short, not just
long!) can be specified as `-o` or `--old-option` but none of this is
documented.

692a2fc135 Sphinx: disable hyphenation
Hyphenation in our documentation is aggressive, even to the point of caus-
ing options themselves to be broken across lines. This makes the document-
ation hard to read, especially when you have an option like `string colle-
ct` which gets a weird hyphen.

Remove the hyphenation from the CSS.

38b24c2325 docs: Use :doc: role when linking to commands
This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a
special anchor we manually include.

So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to
cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string.

I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the
document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried
`/cmds/string`.

So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain
`string` from other commands.

41c22d5e60 Add string shorten
This is essentially the inverse of `string pad`.
Where that adds characters to get up to the specified width,
this adds an ellipsis to a string if it goes over a specific maximum width.
The char can be given, but defaults to our ellipsis string.
("…" if the locale can handle it and "..." otherwise)

If the ellipsis string is empty, it just truncates.

For arguments given via argv, it goes line-by-line,
because otherwise length makes no sense.

If "--no-newline" is given, it adds an ellipsis instead and removes all subsequent lines.

Like pad and `length --visible`, it goes by visible width,
skipping recognized escape sequences, as those have no influence on width.

The default target width is the shortest of the given widths that is non-zero.

If the ellipsis is already wider than the target width,
we truncate instead. This is safer overall, so we don't e.g. move into a new line.
This is especially important given our default ellipsis might be width 3.

c753f22003 docs: Format path synopsis
This was written while we changed how our synopses are formatted, so
we missed adding a "synopsis" marker to it.

The tokenizer here is a bit cheesy, so we can't mark continuation
lines with a "\", and we also can't mark the general options with a
":=". Tbh that's not a big deal.
