xC: make alias creation tolerant to prefixed names
Those would not work, so skip the first forward slash.

Note that liberty can save arbitrary alias names since 6e93119,
making the removed comment about checking outdated.

xC: deal with any identifier conflicts
Invalid UTF-8 converted to UTF-8 may conflict with that
which was valid UTF-8 in the first place.

xC: use the correct way of resetting libedit
The only remaining major annoyance is incremental search
seemingly not giving back control.

xC: general.save_on_quit -> general.autosave
Power outages and similar situations make the former unreliable,
so get rid of any false promise it might seem to give.

xC: revise configuration options
This commit constitutes a breaking change to old configurations.

All behaviour.* options have now become general.*, with the following
few renames as exceptions:

 - editor_command -> editor
 - backlog_helper -> pager
 - backlog_helper_strip_formatting -> pager_strip_formatting

xC: improve backlog helper capabilities
Snippets now receive positional parameters in the form of the buffer's
name in the locale encoding, and a filename if applicable
(we keep passing stdin along with the filename, which happens to
work out well for less(1)).

The default value of the configuration option also no longer uses
the "long prompt", which used to unhelpfully tell position in terms
of lines, but rather sets its own prompt that counts pages,
and makes sure to indicate the source buffer.

The main motivation behind this change is to make the 'v' command
work in less(1).  LESSSECURE must be omitted from the snippet
for this to work.

Bump liberty to receive a config parser that allows for less
convoluted escaping.

xC: allow passing the cursor position to editors
Add a configuration option to set a custom editor command,
different from EDITOR or VISUAL--those remain as defaults.

Implement substitutions allowing to convey cursor information
to VIM and Emacs (the latter of which is fairly painful to cater to),
and put usage hints in the configuration option's description.

This should make the editing experience a bit more seamless
for users, even though the position is carried over in one way only.

No sophisticated quoting capabilities were deemed necessary,
it is a lot of code already.  The particular syntax is inspired
by .desktop files and systemd.

["/bin/sh", "-c", "vim +$2go \"$1\"", filename, position, line, column]
would be a slightly simpler but cryptic way of implementing this.

Omitting even this hack was a huge hit to overall usability.

xC: normalize ^J behaviour to follow Readline
For some reason Editline inserts it verbatim,
but in a more broken manner than it has with ^V^J.

xC: fix displaying IRC colours above 16
First, we indexed the colour array without a required offset.
Second, the data type was too small and overflowed negative.

Detected during a refactor, which this is a part of.

Come up with sillier names for the binaries
I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like some people might not like
jokes about the Holocaust.

On a more serious note, the project has become more serious over
the 7 or so years of its existence.
