limit size of cd history to 25 directories

The existing implementation grows the $dirprev array without bounds. Besides
causing what would appear to be a memory leak it also makes the nextd and
prevd commands more expensive than they need to be. It also makes it harder to
create a useful "menu" cd command.

In addition to implementing a reasonable limit on the size of the $dirprev
array I've reformatted the code using fish_indent.

Update the documentation to include mentions of the $dirprev and $dirnext
variables as well as the limit on how much directory history is kept.

If the `-l` or `--list` flag is specified, the current history is also displayed.
Note that the `cd` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the `$dirprev` and `$dirnext` variables which this command manipulates.
