Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Examples:
export x=~
now expands the tilde
local y=$1
is now safe, even if $1 contains IFS characters or metacharacters.
For a word to "look like an assignment", it must start with a name followed
by an equals sign, none of which may be quoted.
The special treatment applies when the first word (potentially after
"command") is "export", "readonly" or "local". There may be quoting
characters but no expansions. If "local" is overridden with a function there
is no special treatment ("export" and "readonly" cannot be overridden with a
function).
If things like
local arr=(1 2 3)
are ever allowed in the future, they cannot call a "local" function. This
would either be a run-time error or it would call the builtin.
This matches Austin Group bug #351, planned for the next issue of POSIX.1.
PR: bin/166771
Have mkbuiltins write the prototypes for the *cmd functions to builtins.h
instead of builtins.c and include builtins.h in more .c files instead of
duplicating prototypes for *cmd functions in other headers.
These are called "shell procedures" in the source.
If execve() failed with [ENOEXEC], the shell would reinitialize itself
and execute the program as a script. This requires a fair amount of code
which is not frequently used (most scripts have a #! magic number).
Therefore just execute a new instance of sh (_PATH_BSHELL) to run the
script.
* avoid unnecessary fork
* allow executing builtins via command
* executing a special builtin via command removes its special properties

Add a reference count to function definitions.
Memory may leak if multiple SIGINTs arrive in interactive mode,
this will be fixed later by changing SIGINT handling.

demanded by POSIX.
- A redirection error is only fatal (meaning the execution of a shell script is
terminated) for special built-ins. Previously it was fatal for all shell
builtins, causing problems like the one reported in PR 88845.
- Variable assignments remain in effect for special built-ins.
- Option or operand errors are only fatal for special built-ins.
This change also makes errors from 'fc' non-fatal (I could not find any reasons
for this behaviour).
Somewhat independently from the above down-grade the error handling in the
shift built-in if the operand is bigger than $# from an error() call (which is
now fatal) to a return 1. I'm not sure if this should be considered a POSIX
"operand error", however this change is needed for now as we trigger that error
while building libncurses. Comparing with other shells, zsh does the same as
our sh before this change (write a diagnostic, return 1), bash behaves as our
sh after this commit (no diagnostic, return 1) and ksh93 and NetBSD's sh treat
it as a fatal error.
- Removed dead declarations
- Made objects that should have been declared as static, static.
The changes use STATIC instead of static, following the existing
convention in the rest of the code.

MFC after: 2 weeks
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.
o Change
int
foo() {
...
to
int
foo(void)
{
...
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..
