Fabian Homborg 46911a5e7f Revert "__fish_describe_command: Remove awk"
Dealing with macOS output in a fast manner using `string` is surprisingly hard, given that it features lines like

    gls(1), ls(1)            - list directory contents

Printing the "gls" with the description and the "ls" with the description requires a `while read` loop, and that's too slow.

This reverts commit 7784a5f23c.
