Backport 'read -a' and 'read -p' from ksh 93v-/2020
This backports two minor additions to the 'read' built-in from ksh 93v-: '-a' is now the same as '-A' and '-u p' is the same as '-p'. This is for compatibility with some 93v- or ksh2020 scripts. Note that their change to the '-p' option to support both prompts and reading from the coprocess was *not* backported because we found it to be broken and unfixable. Discussoin at: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/463 src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c: b_read(): - Backport as described above. - Rename the misleadingly named 'name' variable to 'prompt'. It points to the prompt string, not to a variable name. src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c: sh_optpwd[]: - Add -a as an alterative to -A. All that is needed is adding '|a' and optget(3) will automatically convert it to 'A'. - Change -u from a '#' (numeric) to ':' option to support 'p'. Note that b_read() now needs a corresponding strtol() to convert file descriptor strings to numbers where applicable. - Tweaks. src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1: - Update accordingly. - Tidy up the unreadable mess that was the 'read' documentation. The options are now shown in a list.
