This is somewhat subtle:
The #RUN line in a littlecheck file will be run by a posix shell,
which means the substitutions will also be mangled by it.
Now, we *have* shell-quoted them, but unfortunately what we need is to
quote them for inside a pre-existing layer of quotes, e.g.
# RUN: fish -C 'set -g fish %fish'
here, %fish can't be replaced with `'path with spaces/fish'`, because
that ends up as
# RUN: fish -C 'set -g fish 'path with spaces/fish''
which is just broken.
So instead, we pass it as a variable to that fish:
# RUN: fish=%fish fish...
In addition, we need to not mangle the arguments in our test_driver.
For that, because we insist on posix shell, which has only one array,
and we source a file, we *need* to stop having that file use
arguments.
Which is okay - test_env.sh could previously be used to start a test,
and now it no longer can because that is test_*driver*.sh's job.
For the interactive tests, it's slightly different:
pexpect.spawn(foo) is sensitive to shell metacharacters like space.
So we shell-quote it.
But if you pass any args to pexpect.spawn, it no longer uses a shell,
and so we cannot shell-quote it.
There could be a better way to fix this?
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
Another from the "why are we asserting instead of doing something
sensible" department.
The alternative is to make exit() and return() compute their own exit
code, but tbh I don't want any *other* builtin to hit this either?
Fixes#9659
This skipped printing a "^" line if the start or length of the error
was longer than the source.
That seems like the correc thing at first glance, however it means
that the caret line isn't skipped *if the file goes on*.
So, for example
```fish
echo "$abc["
```
by itself, in a file or via `fish -c`, would not print an error, but
```fish
echo "$abc["
true
```
would. That's not a great way to print errors.
So instead we just.. imagine the start was at most at the end.
The underlying issue why `echo "$abc["` causes this is that `wcstol`
didn't move the end pointer for the index value (because there is no
number there). I'd fix this, but apparently some of
our recursive variable calls absolutely rely on this position value.
Prior to this fix, fish was rather inconsistent in when $status gets set
in response to an error. For example, a failed expansion like "$foo["
would not modify $status.
This makes the following inter-related changes:
1. String expansion now directly returns the value to set for $status on
error. The value is always used.
2. parser_t::eval() now directly returns the proc_status_t, which cleans
up a lot of call sites.
3. We expose a new function exec_subshell_for_expand() which ignores
$status but returns errors specifically related to subshell expansion.
4. We reify the notion of "expansion breaking" errors. These include
command-not-found, expand syntax errors, and others.
The upshot is we are more consistent about always setting $status on
errors.
