Sync: merge r215464 through r215708 from ^/head.

sh: Code size optimizations to buffered output.

This is mainly less use of the outc macro.

No functional change is intended, but code size is about 2K less on i386.

Sync: merge r214353 through r214648 from ^/head.

sh: Reindent evaltree().

sh: Use iteration instead of recursion to evaluate semicolon lists.
This reduces CPU and memory usage when executing long lists (such
as long functions).

sh: Tweak some string constants to reduce code size.

* Reduce some needless differences.
* Shorten some error messages that should not happen.

In the spirit of r90111, depend on c89 and remove the "STATIC" macro
and its usage.

Consistently use "STATIC" for all functions in order to be able to set
breakpoints with in a debugger. And use naked "static" for variables.

sh: Return 0 from eval if no command was given.

This makes a difference if there is a command substitution.

To make this work, evalstring() has been changed to set exitstatus to 0 if
no command was executed (the string contained only whitespace).

Example:
eval $(false); echo $?
should print 0.

sh: Recognize "--" in . and exec.

Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".

Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.

We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).

sh: Apply locale vars on builtins, recognize LC_MESSAGES as a locale var.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2

This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).

Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The
shell will do the setlocale() calls which may not agree with the environment
variables.

sh: Do not abort on a redirection error if there is no command word.

Although simple commands without a command word (only assignments and/or
redirections) are much like special builtins, POSIX and most shells seem to
agree that redirection errors should not abort the shell in this case. Of
course, the assignments persist and assignment errors are fatal.

To get the old behaviour portably, use the ':' special builtin.
To get the new behaviour portably, given that there are no assignments, use
the 'true' regular builtin.
