xshell

A major release with significant changes to the API:

• Interior mutability and references are removed. Both Cmd and Shell are now values.
• pushd-style API are removed in favor of Shell-returning functional builders like with_current_dir.
• Split copy_file into copy_file and copy_file_to_dir, removing auto-magical directory detection.
• Remove fine-grained control of stdin streams from Cmd. Instead:
  • There's a menu of run, run_echo, run_interactive, read that generally try to do the right thing.
  • run no longer echoes the command by default, run_echo does that.
  • The error messages now carry last 128KiB of stdout/stderr and print them on error.
  • There's to_command method for converting to std::process::Command which does allow for fine grained control.
• Support for timeouts.
• MSRV is raised to 1.73.0.

• MSRV is raised to 1.63.0
• Avoid using non-existant cfg in macros

• Implement Clone for Shell.

need Rust 1.66 for blocking cargo publish

• Improve error message when a working directory for cmd! does not exist.
