Ali Mohammad Pur 3048274f5e Shell: Add support for heredocs ...

Closes #4283.
Heredocs are implemented in a way that makes them feel more like a
string (and not a weird redirection, a la bash).
There are two tunables, whether the string is dedented (`<<-` vs `<<~`)
and whether it allows interpolation (quoted key vs not).
To the familiar people, this is how Ruby handles them, and I feel is the
most elegant heredoc syntax.
Unlike the oddjob that is bash, heredocs are treated exactly as normal
strings, and can be used _anywhere_ where a string can be used.
They are *required* to appear in the same order as used after a newline
is seen when parsing the sequence that the heredoc is used in.
For instance:
```sh
echo <<-doc1 <<-doc2 | blah blah
contents for doc1
doc1
contents for doc2
doc2
```
The typical nice errors are also implemented :^)
