Replace the hash alias with a proper builtin

Browse source 
This commit replaces the old hash alias with a proper builtin.
I based this builtin off of the code alias uses for handling
`alias -t --`, but with the hack for `--` removed as it has
no use in the new builtin. `alias -t --` will no longer work,
that hack is now gone.

While I was testing this builtin, I found a bug with hash tables
in non-forking subshells. If the hash table of a non-forking
subshell is changed, the parent shell's hash table is also changed.
As an example, running `(hash -r)` was resetting the parent shell's
hash table. The workaround is to force the subshell to fork if the
hash table will be changed.

src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
 - Move the code for hash out of the alias builtin into a dedicated
   hash builtin. `alias -t --` is no longer supported.

src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
 - Remove the old alias for hash from the table of predefined aliases.

src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
 - Fix the broken entry for the hash builtin and add a man page for
   the new builtin.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
 - Replace the entry for the hash alias with a more detailed entry
   for the hash builtin.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
 - Force non-forking subshells to fork if the PATH is being reset
   to workaround a bug with the hash tree.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/alias.sh:
 - Add a regression test for resetting a hash table, then adding
   a utility to the refreshed hash table.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
 - Add regression tests for changing the hash table in subshells.

Fix or remove broken or misguided default aliases:
- Make a proper POSIX 'hash' builtin command and remove the builtin alias
hash='alias -t --', which, when removed, exposes a b0rken 'hash' builtin.
To work with this alias, the 'alias' builtin parses the '-r' for 'hash'
*after* '--' ('alias -t -- -r'), which is utterly bogus and violates POSIX.
- Make a proper builtin out of the redirect='command exec' alias. It should
really only parse redirections. Currently, if an unwitting user notices this
alias and tries out something like 'redirect ls >file', it does 'exec ls
