Yet another shell, version 2.38

This version includes various bug fixes.

The next version of yash will have some breaking changes to improve POSIX-compliance:

• The "return" built-in will be changed not to interrupt the "eval" and "fc" built-ins. POSIX requires that the "return" built-in should interrupt the "dot" built-in and functions only. However, the "return" built-in will still keep to interrupt traps, which was neither documented in the yash manual nor required by POSIX, but it is considered unmeaningful to break the existing behavior as to traps.
• The "read" built-in will be changed to require an option to enable line-editing while reading. The existing implementation of the built-in defaults to the current line-editing mode, but it does not allow precise control of the prompt string.
