Johnothan King 99065353b3 Fix 'whence -a' to print correct path for tracked alias (#25)
'whence -a' bases the path for tracked aliases on the user's
current working directory if an enabled ksh builtin of the same
name is also available. The following example will claim 'cat'
is in the user's current working directory:

$ whence -a cat
cat is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/cat
$ builtin cat
$ whence -a cat
cat is a shell builtin
cat is /usr/bin/cat
cat is a tracked alias for /current/working/directory/cat

This patch from ksh2020 fixes this problem by properly saving the
path of the tracked alias for use with 'whence -a', since
'path_pwd' (as implied by the function's name) only gets the users
current working directory, not the location of tracked aliases.

This bug was originally reported by David Morano about two decades
ago to the AST team: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/954

src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/whence.c:
 - Print the actual path of a tracked alias, path_pwd doesn't
   have this functionality.

src/cmd/ksh93/include/name.h:
 - Add 'pathcomp' for saving the value of tracked aliases.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c:
 - Save the value of tracked aliases for use by whence.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
 - Add a regression test for using 'whence -a' on tracked
   aliases with a builtin equivalent.
