b3626d48e7 Highlight keywords differently
This introduces a new variable $fish_color_keyword that will be used
to highlight keywords. If it's not defined, we fall back on
$fish_color_command as before.

An issue here is that most of our keywords have this weird duality of
also being builtins *if* executed without an argument or with
`--help`.

This means that e.g.

    if

is highlighted as a command until you start typing

    if t

and then it turns keyword.

7eb616b787 docs: Make some things subsections
E.g. autoloading and aliases are both about functions, variable scope
and overrides are both about variables.

It makes sense to group these together, and this might allow us to
collapse some of the TOC later.

cbc9de3663 docs: Make the lines in the code examples shorter
We should typically avoid scrolling even at max-width.

An exception here is the output of `functions` - this prints one very
long line, but it's really not important what's in there specifically,
it's just to illustrate the kind of output you'd get.

118f710e99 Allow fish_private_mode to change at runtime
Prior to this change, `fish_private_mode` worked by just suppressing
history outright. With this change, `fish_private_mode` can be toggled on
and off. Commands entered while `fish_private_mode` is set are stored but
in memory only; they are not written to disk.

Fixes #7590

43505f7077 Allow ** glob segments to match zero directories
Prior to this change, a glob like `**/file.txt` would only match
`file.txt` in subdirectories; the `**` must match at least one directory.
This is historical behavior.

With this change we move a little closer to bash's implementation by
allowing a literal `**` segment to match in the current directory. That
is, `**/foo` will match both `foo` and `bar/foo`, while `b**/foo` will
only match `bar/foo`.

Fixes #7222.

4bfda47449 Bind ctrl-r to search history if the commandline isn't empty
This is super cheesy.

One of the most common feature requests we get is "control-r must
search", even tho just using history-search-backward via e.g. up-arrow
is perfectly capable. The only real difference is that ctrl-r search
in other shells allows editing the search term by default, while we
stop the history search and edit the new commandline in those cases.

So, since the major problem is muscle-memory on ctrl-r,
let's just use that!

This makes ctrl-r do nothing on empty commandlines, and do
history-search-backward otherwise, so the basic flow of "press ctrl-r
to start history search, enter your search term, press ctrl-r to cycle
through matches" just works (except the first ctrl-r is useless and it
doesn't show anything).

See #602.

docs: Use \ instead of \\ in examples (#7286)
Instead of informing the bell character (hex 07), the example was using
an escaped \ followed by x07.

    $ echo \\x07
    \x07
    $ echo \x07

    $ echo \x07 | od -a
    0000000 bel  nl
    0000002
    $

* docs: Use \u instead of \\u

Instead of informing the Unicode character 慡, this example was using an
escaped \ followed by u6161.

    $ echo \\u6161
    \u6161
    $ echo \u6161
    慡

Before:

    $ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
    a1 b2\u6161

Now:

    $ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
    a1 b2慡
