Commit df3b0bd89f (Fix commandline state for custom completions with variable
overrides, 2022-01-26) made us push a transient command line for custom
completions based on a tautological null-pointer check ("var_assignments").
Commit 77aeb6a2a8 (Port execution, 2023-10-08) turned the null pointer into
a reference and replaced the check with "!ad.var_assignments.is_empty()".
This broke scenarios that relied on the transient commandline. In particular
the attached test cases rely on the transient commandline implicitly placing
the cursor at the end, irrespective of the cursor in the actual commandline.
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to identify these scenarios.
Let's restore historical behavior by always pushing the transient command line.
Fixes#11423
This feature is nice and desirable, but it was implemented in a intrusive way
by modifying the sequence of bytes we emit when running a command; this in
turn requires changing a bunch of tests.
This sequence hasn't changed in decades and the consequences of changing it
are hard to predict, given that it is likely terminal dependent; we've
already found a regression.
It's fine to reintroduce this but it should be done in a less intrusive way
(conceptually that seems straightforward - we're just remembering the cursor
position).
Revert "Fix spurious blank lines when executing scrolled commandline"
This reverts commit 0e512f8033.
Revert "On undo after execute, restore the cursor position "
This reverts commit 610338cc70.
Ever since 149594f974 (Initial revision, 2005-09-20), we move the
cursor to the end of the commandline just before executing it.
This is so we can move the cursor to the line below the command line,
so moving the cursor is relevant if one presses enter on say, the
first line of a multi-line commandline.
As mentioned in #10838 and others, it can be useful to restore the
cursor position when recalling commandline from history. Make undo
restore the position where enter was pressed, instead of implicitly
moving the cursor to the end. This allows to quickly correct small
mistakes in large commandlines that failed recently.
This requires a new way of moving the cursor below the command line.
Test changes include unrelated cleanup of history.py.
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
In some cases the completion we come up with may be unexpected, e.g.
if you have files like
/etc/realfile
and
/etc/wrongfile
and enter "/etc/gile", it will accept "wrongfile" because "g" and
"ile" are in there - it's a substring insertion match.
The underlying cause was a typo, so it should be easy to go back.
So we do a bit of magic and let "cancel" undo, but only right after a
completion was accepted via complete or complete-and-search.
That means that just reflexively pressing escape would, by default, get you back to
the old token and let you fix your mistake.
We don't do this when the completion was accepted via the pager,
because 1. there's more of a chance to see the problem there and 2.
it's harder to redo in that case.
Fixes#7433.
