add command substitution $(...)

- $(command) is replaced by the output of command, which runs in a
  subshell (gosh -c), so cd/set in it do not change the shell
- trailing newlines are removed; unquoted the output is split into words
  at blanks and newlines, "$(...)" stays one word; wildcards in the
  output are not expanded
- nested substitutions, quotes and operators inside are handled; the
  list, alias and brace scanners skip $(...) as a whole
- a command that consists only of a substitution has its exit status,
  Ctrl+C in a substitution aborts the command
- $((...)) is reported as not supported
