Kurtis Rader 9d2b53450a limit size of cd history to 25 directories
The existing implementation grows the $dirprev array without bounds. Besides
causing what would appear to be a memory leak it also makes the nextd and
prevd commands more expensive than they need to be. It also makes it harder to
create a useful "menu" cd command.

In addition to implementing a reasonable limit on the size of the $dirprev
array I've reformatted the code using fish_indent.

Update the documentation to include mentions of the $dirprev and $dirnext
variables as well as the limit on how much directory history is kept.

\subsection dirh-description Description
`dirh` prints the current directory history. The current position in the history is highlighted using the color defined in the `fish_color_history_current` environment variable.
`dirh` does not accept any parameters.
Note that the `cd` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the `$dirprev` and `$dirnext` variables.
