Allow set --query to check for pathvarness (#8494)

41be9fa9fd Clarify that optional option arguments must have no separating space
Unless we use "complete --require-parameter", we must say "-w32",
not "-w 32", because the second "32" is a positional argument.

Notably, old options do not have this behavior, which is a bit weird,
see #8465

0acbbfe2ca Document that a for-loop passes through any exit status
Unlike in other shells, for-loops do not set $status if
1. the loop count is zero, or if
2. the loop body consists of only commands like "set" that don't
   set $status.

POSIX for-loops always set an exit status (they set 0 if no loop
iterations). Following that would be awkward because it would add a
lot of complexity in combination with the 2 special cases above.

Document that "for" behaves the same as "set": it will pass through
existing $status, and also the last child's $status.

42239d4dd8 fish.rst: do better
This fixes the indentation problem for the SYNOPSIS section by not
inserting the :: literal block. Format it the same way Sphinx does
their own manpages for commands.

Use more semantic markup, like :command:, so that commands are
highlighted in the man pages.

Split by sentence to give `man` a chance to ascertain lines.

Long-term, it should be possible to teach Sphinx to turn :command:s
into references and get us automatic links to articles for matching
cmds/*.

7f34b8ab53 docs: Add copy buttons to all the codeblocks
This uses a bit of javascript to add copy buttons, so you can directly
copy all the code in a given block to the clipboard!

For codeblocks without prompts, it just copies all the code, for
blocks with prompts, it copies all the lines after prompts, under the
assumption that that's the code to be executed.

It would give you *all* the lines, so the output wouldn't be
interleaved like it is in the html, but good enough.

The buttons appear on hover, so they aren't usable on phones, but
since you won't really have a clipboard on phones and I have no idea
how to make them not always in front of the text otherwise: Eh.

I'm not in love with the javascript here, but it'll do.

commandline: Add --is-valid option (#8142)
* commandline: Add --is-valid option to query whether it's syntactically complete

This means querying when the commandline is in a state that it could
be executed. Because our `execute` bind function also inserts a
newline if it isn't.

One case that's not handled right now: `execute` also expands
abbreviations, those can technically make the commandline invalid
again.

Unfortunately we have no real way to *check* without doing the
replacement.

Also since abbreviations are only available in command position when
you _execute_ them the commandline will most likely be valid.

This is enough to make transient prompts work:

```fish
function reset-transient --on-event fish_postexec
    set -g TRANSIENT 0
end

function maybe_execute
    if commandline --is-valid
        set -g TRANSIENT 1
        commandline -f repaint
    else
        set -g TRANSIENT 0
    end
    commandline -f execute
end

bind \r maybe_execute
```

and then in `fish_prompt` react to $TRANSIENT being set to 1.

Add set --function (#8145)
* Add `set --function`

This makes the function's scope available, even inside of blocks. Outside of blocks it's the toplevel local scope.

This removes the need to declare variables locally before use, and will probably end up being the main way variables get set.

E.g.:

```fish
set -l thing
if condition
    set thing one
else
    set thing two
end
```

could be written as

```fish
if condition
    set -f thing one
else
    set -f thing two
end
```

Note: Many scripts shipped with fish use workarounds like `and`/`or`
instead of `if`, so it isn't easy to find good examples.

Also, if there isn't an else-branch in that above, just with

```fish
if condition
    set -f thing one
end
```

that means something different from setting it before! Now, if
`condition` isn't true, it would use a global (or universal) variable of
te same name!

Some more interesting parts:

Because it *is* a local scope, setting a variable `-f` and
`-l` in the toplevel of a function ends up the same:

```fish
function foo2
    set -l foo bar
    set -f foo baz # modifies the *same* variable!
end
```

but setting it locally inside a block creates a new local variable
that shadows the function-scoped variable:

```fish
function foo3
    set -f foo bar
    begin
        set -l foo banana
        # $foo is banana
    end
    # $foo is bar again
end
```

This is how local variables already work. "Local" is actually "block-scoped".

Also `set --show` will only show the closest local scope, so it won't
show a shadowed function-level variable. Again, this is how local
variables already work, and could be done as a separate change.

As a fun tidbit, functions with --no-scope-shadowing can now use this to set variables in the calling function. That's probably okay given that it's already an escape hatch (but to be clear: if it turns out to problematic I reserve the right to remove it).

cc32b4f2a7 Make '&' only background if followed by a separating character
This is opt-in through a new feature flag "ampersand-nobg-in-token".

When this flag and "qmark-noglob" are enabled, this command no longer
needs quoting:

	curl https://example.com/thing?foo=bar&duran=duran

Compared to the previous approach e1570a4 ("Let '&' only separate as
the first char of a word"), this has some advantages:

1. "&&" and "&>" are no longer affected. They are still special, even
   if used between tokens without spaces, like "echo bar&>foo".
   Maybe this is not really *better*, but it avoids risking to annoy
   users by breaking the old variant.

2. "&" is still special if at the end of a token, like in "sleep 1&".

Word movement is not affected by the semantics change, so Alt-F and
friends still stop at every "&".

Let "return" exit a script (#8148)
Currently, if a "return" is given outside of a function, we'd just
throw an error.

That always struck me as a bit weird, given that scripts can also
return a value.

So simply let "return" outside also exit the script, kinda like "exit"
does.

However, unlike "exit" it doesn't quit an interactive shell - it seems
weird to have "return" do that as well. It sets $status, so it can be
used to quickly set that, in case you want to test something.

- `save` to load a theme and save the variables universally

string: Allow collect --allow-empty to avoid empty ellision (#8054)
* string: Allow `collect --no-empty` to avoid empty ellision

Currently we still have that issue where

    test -n (thing | string collect)

can return true if `thing` doesn't print anything, because the
collected argument will still be removed.

So, what we do is allow `--no-empty` to be used, in which case we
print one empty argument.

This means

    test -n (thing | string collect -n)

can now be safely used.

"no-empty" isn't the best name for this flag, but string's design
really incentivizes reusing names, and it's not *terrible*.

* Switch to `--allow-empty`

`--no-empty` does the exact opposite for `string split` and split0.

Since `-a`/`--allow-empty` already exists, use it.

670636885c docs: Made the abort/edit history feature more discoverable.
First, I changed "the escape key" to :kbd:`Esc`. This makes this information
easier to find when scanning the docs because it stands out and because it is
more consistent with the docs's formatting of keyboard keys.

Additionally, emphasize that escape/page-down can be used to edit
the original search sting.

Finally, I added a link from the FAQ to history-search to make this mechanism
easier to discover.

This was all to address confusion in former zsh and bash users as to how to
edit a search that is in progress, but this will also help new users. See

Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable (#8031)
* Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable

When fish is started with LC_CTYPE=C (even just effectively, often via
LC_ALL=C!), it's basically broken. There's no way to handle non-ASCII
characters with a C locale unless we want to write our
locale-independent replacements for all of the system functions.

Since we're not going to do that, let's try to find *some locale* for
LC_CTYPE.

We already do that in __fish_setlocale, but that's

- a bit of a weird thing that reads unstandardized system
  configuration files
- allows setting locale to C explicitly

So it's still easily possible to end up in a broken configuration.

Now, the issue with this is that there is (AFAICT) no portable way to
get a list of all allowed locales and C.UTF-8 is not standardized, so
we have no one locale to fall back on and are forced to try a few. The
list we have here is quite arbitrary, but it's a start.

Python does something similar and only tries C.UTF-8, C.utf8 and
"UTF-8".

Once C.UTF-8 is (hopefully) standardized, that will just start
working (tm).

Note that we do not *export* the fixed LC_CTYPE variable, so external
programs still have to deal with the C locale, but we have no real
business messing with the user's environment.

To turn it off: $fish_allow_singlebyte_locale, if set to something true (like "1"),
will re-run the locale initialization and skip the bit where we force
LC_CTYPE to be utf8-capable.

This is mainly used in our tests, but might also be useful if people
are trying to do something weird.
