When the user gives an unknown command to the "add -p" prompt, the list
of accepted commands with their explanation is given. This is the same
output they get when they say '?'.
However, the unknown command may be due to a user input error rather
than the user not knowing the valid command.
To reduce the likelihood of user confusion and error repetition, instead
of displaying the list of accepted commands, display a short error
message with the unknown command received, as feedback to the user.
Include a reminder about the current command '?' in the new message, to
guide the user if they want help.

There is no need to show some UI messages on stderr, and yet doing so

When we process the $LAYOUT variable through sed, the result will end
with the character "#". We then split it at the shell using IFS so that
we can process it a character at a time.
POSIX specifies that only "IFS white space shall be ignored at the
beginning and end of the input". The hash mark is not a white space
character, so it is not ignored at the beginning and end of the input.
POSIX then specifies that "[e]ach occurrence in the input of an IFS
character that is not IFS white space, along with any adjacent IFS white
space, shall delimit a field, as described previously." Thus, the final
hash mark delimits a field, and the final field is the empty string.
zsh implements this behavior strictly in compliance with POSIX (and
differently from most other shells), such that we end up with a trailing
empty field. We don't want this empty field and processing it in the
normal way causes us to fail to parse properly and fail the tests with
"ERROR" entries, so let's just ignore it instead. This is the behavior
of bash and dash anyway and what was clearly intended, so this is a
reasonable thing to do.

zsh has a bug in which the keyword "continue" within an &&-chain is not
effective and the code following it is executed nonetheless.
Fortunately, this bug has been fixed upstream in 12e5db145 ("51608:
Don't execute commands after "continue &&"", 2023-03-29). However, zsh
releases very infrequently, so it is not present in a stable release
yet.
That, combined with the fact that almost all zsh users get their shell
from their OS vendor, means that it will likely be a long time before
this problem is fixed for most users. We have other workarounds in
place for FreeBSD ash and dash, so it shouldn't be too difficult to add
one here, either.
Replace the existing code with a test and if-block, which comes only at
the cost of an additional indentation, and leaves the code a little more
idiomatic anyway.

Since 5e47215080 (fuzz: add basic fuzz testing target., 2018-10-12), we
have compiled object files for the fuzz tests as part of the default
'make all' target. This helps prevent bit-rot in lesser-used parts of
the codebase, by making sure that incompatible changes are caught at
build time.
However, since we never linked the fuzzer executables, this did not
protect us from link-time errors. As of 8b9a42bf48 (fuzz: fix fuzz test
build rules, 2024-01-19), it's now possible to link the fuzzer
executables without using a fuzzing engine and a variety of
compiler-specific (and compiler-version-specific) flags, at least on
Linux. So let's add a platform-specific option in config.mak.uname to
link the executables as part of the default `make all` target.
Since linking the fuzzer executables without a fuzzing engine does not
require a C++ compiler, we can change the FUZZ_PROGRAMS build rule to
use $(CC) by default. This avoids compiler mis-match issues when
overriding $(CC) but not $(CXX). When we *do* want to actually link with
a fuzzing engine, we can set $(FUZZ_CXX). The build instructions in the
CI fuzz-smoke-test job and in the Makefile comment have been updated
accordingly.
While we're at it, we can consolidate some of the fuzzer build
instructions into one location in the Makefile.

In https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/623, it was reported that
maintenance stops on a missing repository, omitting the remaining
repositories that were scheduled for maintenance.
This is undesirable, as it should be a best effort type of operation.
It should still fail due to the missing repository, of course, but not
leave the non-missing repositories in unmaintained shapes.
Let's use `for-each-repo`'s shiny new `--keep-going` option that we just
introduced for that very purpose.
This change will be picked up when running `git maintenance start`,
which is run implicitly by `scalar reconfigure`.

In https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/623, it was reported that
the regularly scheduled maintenance stops if one repo in the middle of
the list was found to be missing.
This is undesirable, and points out a gap in the design of `git
for-each-repo`: We need a mode where that command does not stop on an
error, but continues to try running the specified command with the other
repositories.
Imitating the `--keep-going` option of GNU make, this commit teaches
`for-each-repo` the same trick: to continue with the operation on all
the remaining repositories in case there was a problem with one
repository, still setting the exit code to indicate an error occurred.
