These printed "Unknown error while evaluating command substitution".
Now they print something like
```
fish: for: status: cannot overwrite read-only variable
for status in foo; end
^~~~~^
in command substitution
fish: Invalid arguments
echo (for status in foo; end)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
```
for `echo (for status in foo; end)`
This is, of course, still not *great*. Mostly the `fish: Invalid
arguments` is basically entirely redundant.
An alternative is to simply skip the error message, but that requires some
more scaffolding (describe_with_prefix adds some error messages on its
own, so we can't simply say "don't add the prefix if we don't have a
message")

After accidentally running a command that includes a pasted password, I want
to delete command from history. Today we need to recall or type (part of)
that command and type "history delete". Let's maybe add a shortcut to do
this from the history pager.
The current shortcut is Shift+Delete. I don't think that's very discoverable,
maybe we should use Delete instead (but only if the cursor is at the end of
the commandline, otherwise delete a char).
Closes#9454

Refresh some stale CSS, improve some rendering, and fix some bugs.
Some of the CSS no longer applied. Remove the bright red X in history
and use a tamer color. Fix the prev/next paginator buttons from moving
for large paginations. Fix the calculation about disabling prev/next.
* wildcard: Remove file size from the description
We no longer add descriptions for normal file completions, so this was
only ever reached if this was a command completion, and then it was
only added if the file wasn't a regular file... in which case it can't
be an executable.
So this was dead.
* Make possible_link() a maybe
This gives us the full information, not just "no" or "maybe"
* wildcard: Rationalize file/command completions
This keeps the entry_t as long as possible, and asks it, so especially
on systems with working d_type we can get by without a single stat in
most cases.
Then it guts file_get_desc, because that is only used for command
completions - we have been disabling file descriptions for *years*,
and so this is never called there.
That means we have no need to print descriptions about e.g. broken symlinks, because those are not executable.
Put together, what this means is that we, in most cases, only do
an *access(2)* call instead of a stat, because that might be checking
more permissions.
So we have the following constellations:
- If we have d_type:
- We need a stat() for every _symlink_ to get the type (e.g. dir or regular)
(this is for most symlinks, if we want to know if it's a dir or executable)
- We need an access() for every file for executables
- If we do not have d_type:
- We need a stat() for every file
- We need an lstat() for every file if we do descriptions
(i.e. just for command completion)
- We need an access() for every file for executables
As opposed to the current way, where every file gets one lstat whether
with d_type or not, and an additional stat() for links, *and* an
access.
So we go from two syscalls to one for executables.
* Some more comments
* rust link option
* rust remove size
* rust accessovaganza
* Check for .dll first for WSL
This saves quite a few checks if e.g. System32 is in $PATH (which it
is if you inherit windows paths, IIRC).
Note: Our WSL check currently fails for WSL2, where this would
be *more* important because of how abysmal the filesystem performance
on that is.

This is off by one from the C++ version.
It wasn't super obvious why this worked in the first place.
Looks like args[0] is "-" because we are invoked like
fish -c 'exec "${@}"' - "${@}"
and it looks like "-" is treated like "--" by bash, so we emulate that.
See https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/367#issuecomment-11740812
This function only ever returns true if target_os=linux, so we need to invert
the OS check.
In the first invocation, this function may allocate heap memory.
Clarify that this is safe.
