sh: Use vfork in a few common cases.

This uses vfork() for simple commands and command substitutions containing a
single simple command, invoking an external program under certain conditions
(no redirections or variable assignments, non-interactive shell, no job
control). These restrictions limit the amount of code executed in a vforked
child.

There is a large speedup (for example 35%) in microbenchmarks. The
difference in buildkernel is smaller (for example 0.5%) but still
statistically significant. See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2012-January/037581.html
for some numbers.

The use of vfork() can be disabled by setting a variable named
SH_DISABLE_VFORK.

sh: Save/restore changed variables in optimized command substitution.

In optimized command substitution, save and restore any variables changed by
expansions (${var=value} and $((var=assigned))), instead of trying to
determine if an expansion may cause such changes.

If $! is referenced in optimized command substitution, do not cause jobs to
be remembered longer.

This fixes $(jobs $!) again, simplifies the man page and shortens the code.

sh: Add \u/\U support (in $'...') for UTF-8.

Because we have no iconv in base, support for other charsets is not
possible.

Note that \u/\U are processed using the locale that was active when the
shell started. This is necessary to avoid behaviour that depends on the
parse/execute split (for example when placing braces around an entire
script). Therefore, UTF-8 encoding is implemented manually.

sh: Check readonly status for assignments on regular builtins.

An error message is written, the builtin is not executed, nonzero exit

This was already checked for special builtins and external commands, with
the same consequences except that the shell aborts for special builtins.

Final update to current version of head in preparation for reintegration.

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.

Merge from head at r201628.

# This hasn't been tested, and there are at least three bad commits
# that need to be backed out before the branch will be stable again.

sh: Various warning fixes (from WARNS=6 NO_WERROR=1):
- const
- initializations to silence -Wuninitialized (it was safe anyway)
- remove nested extern declarations
- rename "index" locals to "idx"

sh: Constify various strings.

Most of this is adding const keywords, but setvar() in var.c had to be
changed somewhat more.

Implement the PS4 variable which is defined by the POSIX User Portability
Utilities option. Its value is printed at the beginning of the line if tracing
(-x) is active. PS4 defaults to the string "+ " which is compatible with the
old behaviour to always print "+ ".

We still need to expand variables in PS1, PS2 and PS4.
