Pass job group down to builtin_print_help

Repro:

	$ abbr -h | less
	fish: Job 1, 'abbr --help | less' has stopped

Bisects to 5ece9bec6c (__fish_print_help: use man as-is, 2025-08-29).

Root cause is similar to
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/8699#issuecomment-1030762748
except it's specific to how __fish_print_help is invoked, since
"__fish_print_help abbr | less" works fine.

Fix this by letting __fish_print_help access the terminal.

❯ "abbr -h | less" gets a signal, resulting in the message "fish: Job 1, 'abbr -h | less' has stopped"
whereas "__fish_print_help abbr | less" works just fine, even though "abbr -h" should run exactly that.
Why this difference?

● Now I can give you a clear answer.

  The difference comes down to job group inheritance when man is
  spawned.

  The deferred execution order

  In abbr -h | less, fish uses the "deferred process" optimization:
  since abbr is a non-external process piping into an external one,
  fish launches less first,
   transfers the terminal to less's process group, then runs the
   deferred abbr builtin. By the time abbr's help function spawns man,
   the terminal already
  belongs to less's pgroup.

  Same thing happens with __fish_print_help abbr | less — the outer
  less is launched first and gets the terminal.

  Where the paths diverge

  Function case (__fish_print_help abbr | less):
  get_performer_for_function (exec.rs:1050) captures job.group.clone()
  and passes it to eval_node. So when command man runs inside the
  function, it's given the outer pipeline's job group — the same
  one that owns the terminal. man's inner less pager joins that group
  and can read from the terminal freely. ✓

  Builtin case (abbr -h | less): builtin_print_help calls
  parser.eval(&cmd, streams.io_chain) (shared.rs:652). parser.eval
  is defined as:

  pub fn eval(&self, cmd: &wstr, io: &IoChain) -> EvalRes {
      self.eval_with(cmd, io, None, BlockType::top, false)
      //                      ^^^^ job_group = None
  }

  job_group = None means man creates a brand-new job group with no
  terminal access. When man spawns its less pager, the pager tries
  to read keyboard input from
   the terminal, but the terminal belongs to the outer less's process
   group. The pager receives SIGTTIN → stops → the whole job is
   reported as stopped.

  The fix

  builtin_print_help should pass streams.job_group to the eval call
  (which is already populated at exec.rs:1192). Changing line 652 from:

  let res = parser.eval(&cmd, streams.io_chain);

  to:

  let res = parser.eval_with(&cmd, streams.io_chain, streams.job_group.as_ref(), BlockType::top, false);

  would give man the outer job's job group, letting its pager access
  the terminal just like the function case.
