Kurtis Rader f7f39b8c90 make fish's realpath compatible with GNU realpath
After implementing `builtin fish_realpath` it was noticed that it did
not behave like GNU `realpath` without options. Which is super annoying
since that was the whole point of implementing the command. Major
failure on my part since I wrote the unit tests to match the behavior of
the existing `wrealpath()` function that I simply exposed as a builtin
command. Rather than actually verifying it behaved in a manner
compatible with GNU realpath.

Also, while the decision to call the builtin `fish_realpath` seemed to
make sense at the time of the original commit further reflection has
shown that to be a silly, idiosyncratic, thing to have done. So rename
it to simply `realpath`.

# Provide a minimalist realpath implementation to help deal with platforms that may not provide it
# as a command. If a realpath command is available simply pass all arguments thru to it. If not
# fallback to alternative solutions.
# The following is slightly subtle. The first time `realpath` is invoked by autoloading this script
# will be read. If we see that there is an external realpath command we just return. That will cause
# fish to run the external command. Or, if there is a grealpath, we alias it.
# On the other hand, if an external command isn't found we provide a function that will facilitate
# fallback behavion through our builtin.
if not command -s realpath >/dev/null
# If there is a HomeBrew installed version of GNU realpath named grealpath use that.
