ceade1629d builtin commandline: add option to determine if pager is fully disclosed
Use the remaining_to_disclose count to determine if all completions
are shown (allows consistent behavior between short and long completion
lists).

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

    set -q --unpath PATH

simply ignores the "--unpath" bit (and same for "--path").

This changes it, so just like exportedness you can check pathness.

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

Make fish_key_reader's output simpler (#8467)
* fish_key_reader: Simplify default output

It now only prints the bind statement. Timing information and such is
relegated to a separate "verbose" mode.

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.

See the discussion in #8409

edc09c8419 Docs: Switch back to vanilla :ref: for commands that should be linked
Unfortunately, currently :program: doesn't link to the program's page.

So we use the old-school :ref: again where we should link, i.e. for
everything that's not the program the current page is about.

Documents like fish-tutorial don't need the NAME portion below.

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/*.

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).

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.

For builtins that have the same name as common commands, it might not

(exception is true and false because the note would be longer than the
page, and it's fridging true and false)

8223e6f23e fish_config: Add CLI-based theme selector
`fish_config theme`:

- `list` to list all available themes (files in the two theme
directories - either the web_config/themes one or
~/.config/fish/themes!)
- `show` to show select (or all) themes right in the terminal - this
starts another fish that reads the theme file and prints the sample
text, manually colored
- `choose` to load a theme *now*, setting the variables globally
- `save` to load a theme and save the variables universally
- `dump` to write the current theme in .theme format (to stdout)
- `demo` to display the current theme
