Add support for multibyte characters to $IFS (#92)

Add support for multibyte characters to $IFS

This commit fixes BUG_MULTIBIFS, which had two bug reports in the ksh2020 branch.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c:
- Backport Eric Scrivner's fix for multibyte IFS characters (slightly modified
  for compatibility with C89). Explanation from https://github.com/att/ast/pull/737:

  Previously, the varsub method used for the macro expansion of $param, ${param},
  and ${param op word} would incorrectly expand the internal field separator (IFS)
  if it was a multibyte character. This was due to truncation based on the
  incorrect assumption that the IFS would never be larger than a single byte.

  This change fixes this issue by carefully tracking the number of bytes that
  should be persisted in the IFS case and ensuring that all bytes are written
  during expansion and substitution.

  Bug report: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/13

- Fixed another bug that caused multibyte characters with the same initial byte
  to be treated as the same character by the IFS. This bug was occurring because
  the first byte of a multibyte character wasn't being written to the stack when
  the IFS delimiter had the same initial byte:

  $ IFS=£
  $ v='§'
  $ set -- $v
  $ v="${1-}"
  $ echo "$v" | hd # The first byte should be c2, but it isn't due to the bug
  00000000  a7 0a                                             |..|
  00000002

  Bug report: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1372

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add (reworked) regression tests from ksh2020 for the multibyte IFS bugs.
- Add a regression test for att/ast#1372 based on the reproducer.

2020-07-25:
- Fixed BUG_MULTIBIFS: Multibyte characters can now be used as IFS
delimiters. "$*" was incorrectly joining positional parameters on
the first byte of a multibyte character. This was due to truncation
based on the incorrect assumption the IFS would never be larger
than a single byte.
2020-07-23:
- Fixed an infinite loop that could occur when ksh is the system's /bin/sh.
