This update fixes a few issues in history editing and the processing
of the "quit" function. The "quit" function will no longer cause bc
to exit when encountered in a script file (before any command from
the script has been executed).
New functions is_number(), is_string return 1 if the passed argument
is a number resp. a string. The asciify() function has been extended
to support the conversion of an array of numbers into a string.

Merge commit 2f57ecae4b
This is a new major release with a number of changes and extensions:
- Limited the number of temporary numbers and made the space for them
static so that allocating more space for them cannot fail.
- Allowed integers with non-zero scale to be used with power, places,
and shift operators.
- Added greatest common divisor and least common multiple to lib2.bc.
- Made bc and dc UTF-8 capable.
- Added the ability for users to have bc and dc quit on SIGINT.
- Added the ability for users to disable prompt and TTY mode by
environment variables.
- Added the ability for users to redefine keywords.
- Added dc's modular exponentiation and divmod to bc.
- Added the ability to assign strings to variables and array elements
and pass them to functions in bc.
- Added dc's asciify command and stream printing to bc.
- Added bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, reverse,
left rotate, right rotate, and mod functions to lib2.bc.
- Added the functions s2u(x) and s2un(x,n), to lib2.bc.
MFC after: 1 week
This version fixes a regression with regard to tradtional behavior of the
non-standard FreeBSD option "-e". In the previous version "-e quit" caused
bc to exit before any computations had been performed, since all -e option
parameters were concatenated and parsed as a whole, with quit causing the
program to exit as soon as it was parsed. This version parses and executes
commands passed with -e one by one and only exits after all prior commands
have been executed.
This commit is not a SVN merge, since the vendor import had been performed
after the import to contrib. Instead the contents of contrib/bc has been
removed and the new version is copied over unchanged from vendor/bc/dist.
