Description

This removes builtin reads history, which is:

  • undocumented
  • possibly unexpected (we've recommended mysql -p(read) before, with the intention that these not show up in the history)

Then it uses read in history delete if no searchterms are given.

An alternative would be to add a flag to read to not keep history (read --incognito or read --no-history?), or to readd the --mode-name flag and expect that. I've not done so because I don't see the use in the read history, and I believe that the expectation usually is that it doesn't keep history.

Fixes issue #5791

TODOs:

  • Changes to fish usage are reflected in user documentation/manpages.
  • Tests have been added for regressions fixed
  • User-visible changes noted in CHANGELOG.md

This was undocumented, not all that useful and potentially unwanted.

In particular it means that things like

   mysql -p(read)

will still keep the password in history.

Also it allows us to simply implement asking for the history deletion
term.

See fish-shell#5791.

Convinced me - let's do it. LGTM.

If this proves controversial we can add it back as an opt-in, it ought not to be the default.
