 Fix several bugs in the command / type builtin ( including PR bin/48499 )
 
 1. Make command -pv (and -pV) work (which is not as easy as the PR
    suggests it might be (the "check and cause error" was there because
    it did not work, not in order to prevent it from working).
 
 2. Stop -v and -V being both used (that makes no sense).
 
 3. Stop the "type" builtin inheriting the args (-pvV) that "command" has
    (which it did, as when -v -or -V is used with command, it and type are
     implemented using the same code).
 
 4. make "command -v word" DTRT for sh keywords (was treating them as an error).
 
 5. Require at least one arg for "command -[vV]" or "type" else usage & error.
    Strictly this should also apply to "command" and "command -p" (no -v)
    but that's handled elsewhere, so perhaps some other time.   Perhaps
    "command -v" (and -V) should be limited to 1 command name (where "type"
    can have many) as in the POSIX definitions, but I don't think that matters.
 
 6. With "command -V alias", (or "type alias" which is the same thing),
    (but not "command -v alias") alter the output format, so we get
 	ll is an alias for: ls -al
    instead of the old
 	ll is an alias for
 	ls -al
    (and note there was a space, for some reason, after "for")
    That is, unless the alias value contains any \n characters, in which
    case (something approximating) the old multi-line format is retained.
    Also note: that if code wants to parse/use the value of an alias, it
    should be using the output of "alias name", not command or type.
 
 Note that none of the above affects "command [-p] cmd" (no -v or -V options)
 only "command -[vV]" and "type".
 
 Note also that the changes to eval.[ch] are merely to make syspath()
 visible in exec.c rather than static in eval.c
