Suppress wildcards-globbing for http(s) parameters

[karstenBriksoft]

I'm using fish, version 3.7.1

Sometimes I issue commands that take a URL parameter and oftentimes I forget to explicitly quote the parameter, resulting in the message No matches for wildcard 'https://....'. See help \wildcards-globbing`.`

As far as I understand the documentation, this whole concept is there exclusively for files, making it a host-only solution. It would be super convenient if parameters that start with http:// or https:// (or other protocols) simply run until the next whitespace and do not try to interpret question marks, ampersands or asterisk characters.

We don't do syntactical special-cases like that.

Here's what you can do:

• Enable the qmark-noglob feature-flag, which turns off the ? glob entirely. This will be enabled by default and then made read-only in future.
• Paste the URL inside single-quotes, where fish will escape it automatically
• Just quote it

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #3649, because the ? glob is the important character for URLs.
