The overwhelming majority of localizable messages comes from
completions:
$ ls share/completions/ | wc -l
$ 1048
OTOH functions also contribute a small amount, mostly via their
descriptions (so usually just one per file).
$ ls share/functions/ | wc -l
$ 237
Most of these are private and almost never shown to the user, so it's
not worth bothering translators with them. So:
- Skip private (see the parent commit) and deprecated functions.
- Skip wrapper functions like grep (where the translation seems to
be provided by apropos), and even the English description is not
helpful.
- Assume that most real systems have "seq", "realpath" etc.,
so it's no use providing our own translations for our fallbacks.
- Mark fish's own functions as tier1, and some barely-used functiosn
and completions as tier3, so we can order them that way in
po/*.po. Most translators should only look at tier1 and tier2.
In future we could disable localization for tier3.

Part of #11833
(cherry picked from commit d835c5252a)
Commit f38646593c (Allow `export` to set colon-separated `PATH`, `CDPATH`
and `MANPATH`., 2017-02-10)
did something very weird for «export PATH=foo».
It essentially does
set -gx PATH (string replace -- "$PATH" (string join ":" -- $PATH) foo)
which makes no sense. It should set PATH to "foo", no need to involve the
existing value of $PATH.
Additionally, the string split / string join dance is unnecessary. Nowadays,
builtin set already handles path variables as is needed here, so get rid of
this special case.
Fixes#11434
