The mechanism is now documented in PACKAGING.md.
Also refactor tools/buildall.sh to make it easy to make reproducible builds, and
fix tools/cirrus-deploy.sh.
Now that the module path is "src.elv.sh", doing a "go get" will install the
Elvish binary as "src.elv.sh"; this is not what we want, so move the main
package into a package called "elvish".
Also update "go get" and "go build" commands accordingly.
Previously, to avoid showing deprecation warnings for the next release when the
user is running on HEAD, a boolean CLI flag -show-deprecations is introduced,
and is set to false in the master branch. The idea is that release branches will
have this default to true, so people running released versions will see
deprecations.
However, this means that people running on HEAD will never see any deprecations
unless they use this CLI flag, which is not ideal. This commit replaces the flag
bool -show-deprecations with a numerical -deprecation-level flag, which requests
deprecations that are active as of release 0.X to be shown. The default value of
this flag will be the minor version number of the *last* release, so that people
running HEAD will see as many deprecation warnings as people running the last
release would. This number will be bumped just before releases.
* Introduce the `path:` module
This is based on https://github.com/elves/elvish/pull/1084 by @kolbycrouch
submitted five months ago. It addresses all of the feedback on that
change and includes other documentation and unit test improvements. It
also includes a couple of extensions to the original P.R., such as a
`path:is-abs` command.
I decided to resurrect that change because I want better support for
filesystem path manipulation so that users can replace non-portable
external commands such as `realpath` and `find` with Elvish builtins. This
is a baby step towards that goal.

* Add a `path:is-regular` command
This adds a `path:is-regular` command. This is for symmetry with the
`path:is-dir` command and the glob `[type:regular]` modifier.
It also adds support for symlinks in the `testutil.Applydir` function
and change the path unit test to use it.
* Rename path:real to path:eval-symlinks
The Elvish daemon should not inherit file descriptors open on the tty.
Make the daemon's stdin open on the null device and its stdout/stderr
open on a predictable file.
Fixes#1191
The Cirrus CI config included the codecov token in cleartext as I was under the
impression that this was necessary for coverage reports on pull requests to work
correctly. But this seems to be also causing pushes in other people's
Elvish repositories to appear in the master branch's commit history
(https://app.codecov.io/gh/elves/elvish/commits). Changing the token to be
encrypted might fix the problem; if this breaks coverage reports on pull
requests the token can be switched back to cleartext.
Test helpers will necessarily contain some lines that are only executed on test
failure, so exluding them from test coverage is still a good idea.
Also exclude pkg/web.
