711796ad13 Highlight options differently
This introduces a new variable, $fish_color_option, that can be used
to highlight options differently.

Options are tokens starting with `-`, but only up to (and including!)
the first `--`.

Fixes #8292.

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.

eee38836cf set -q: Return 255 if no variable name was passed
Previously this strictly returned the number of unset variables. So if
no variable was given, it would return *true*, which is highly

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).

Fixes #565

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 "&".
