Martijn Dekker 17f81ebedb Load 'r' and 'history' default aliases on interactive only
These two default aliases are useful on interactive shells. In
scripts, they interfere with possible function or command names.

As of this commit, these final two default aliases are only loaded
for interactive shells, leaving zero default aliases for scripts.
This completes the project to get rid of misguided default aliases.

src/cmd/ksh93/include/shtable.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Add empty alias table shtab_noaliases[] for scripts.
- Rename inittree() to sh_inittree() and make it external.
- nv_init(), sh_reinit(): Initialise empty alias tree for scripts.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: sh_main():
- If interactive, reinitialise alias tree for interactive shells.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/alias.sh:
- To test default alias removal, launch shell with -i.

TODO for AT&T ksh93, 93u+m bugfix branch
______
Fix regression test failures:
- On FreeBSD, there is a test failure in [[ -N file ]] in bracket.sh.
- On OpenBSD, there are 15 locale-related test failures in variables.sh.
______
Fix build system:
- ksh does not currently build on NetBSD, AIX, Solaris, or QNX.
- Reimport the removed nmake. It is necessary for changes in Makefiles
to take effect. The machine-generated Mamfiles are now used as a fallback,
but they are not meant to be edited by hand.
______
Fix currently known bugs affecting shell scripting. These are identified by
their modernish IDs. For exact details, see code/comments in:
https://github.com/modernish/modernish/tree/0.16/lib/modernish/cap/
- BUG_BRACQUOT: shell quoting within bracket patterns has no effect. This
bug means the '-' retains it special meaning of 'character range', and an
initial ! (and, on some shells, ^) retains the meaning of negation, even
in quoted strings within bracket patterns, including quoted variables.
- BUG_CMDEXPAN: if the 'command' command results from an expansion, it acts
like 'command -v', showing the path of the command instead of executing it.
For example:
v=command; "$v" ls
or
set -- command ls; "$@"
don't work.
See also: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/963
- BUG_CMDSPEXIT: preceding a "special builtin"[*] (other than 'eval', 'exec',
'return' or 'exit') with 'command' does not always stop it from exiting
the shell if the builtin encounters error.
[*] https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_14
- BUG_CSUBSTDO: If standard output (file descriptor 1) is closed before
entering a $(command substitution), and any other file descriptors are
redirected within the command substitution, commands such as 'echo' will
not work within the command substitution, acting as if standard output is
still closed.
- BUG_IFSGLOBS: In glob pattern matching (as in case or parameter
substitution with # and %), if IFS starts with ? or * and the "$*"
parameter expansion inserts any IFS separator characters, those characters
are erroneously interpreted as wildcards when quoted "$*" is used as the
glob pattern.
- BUG_LOOPRET2: If a 'return' command is given without a status argument
within the set of conditional commands in a 'while' or 'until' loop (i.e.,
between 'while'/'until' and 'do'), the exit status passed down from the
previous command is ignored and the function returns with status 0
instead.
- BUG_MULTIBIFS: We're on a UTF-8 locale and the shell supports UTF-8
characters in general (i.e. we don't have WRN_MULTIBYTE) however, using
multi-byte characters as IFS field delimiters still doesn't work. For
example, "$*" joins positional parameters on the first byte of IFS instead
of the first character.
