Replaces fish 1.x. fishfish recipe is left alone for now, but is a
conflict and should be uninstalled first.

This reverts commit adee5315265cc46aa6a3057071527abb16e1cd94.
Turns out one of the "other things" is a dealbreaker.
We only create kegs using a formula's canonical name. However, we do not
check that this is the case when mapping existing kegs back to formula
objects, and thus a keg with a name that happens to be an alias can fool
Homebrew into thinking the canonically-named keg exists.
So anything that enumerates kegs and then tries to do stuff with the
resulting formula objects will just break. This is obviously worse than
the debugger being broken, so reverting this for the time being.
The Readline class clashes with the Readline module from the Ruby
stdlib. This has mostly worked, but with the recent debugging support's
integration of IRB, it is no longer possible for them to coexist. So we
need to rename it.
The implications of this are:
- Anything that depends on readline will reinstall it as
"gnu-readline". Anything already installed will continue to function.
- "brew upgrade readline" will say "gnu-readline not installed", as
"readline" is now an alias.
- Probably other things.
So there are some downsides, but we will just have to deal with them.

This formula conflicts with the original fish formula, as they provide
the same executable (`fish`).

Updated original commit to migrate custom conflict class to the new conflicts_with DSL, added the conflict to fish, and changed GitHub URLs to https.
brewkit.rb changes ENV destructively, so lets not do that everytime a formula
is required. Now it's possible for other tools to require a formula
description without worrying about side-effects.
Is it a DSL? No. But people call it that apparently.
To add a dependency:
class Doe <Formula
depends_on 'ray'
depends_on 'mee' => :optional
depends_on 'far' => :recommended
depends_on Sew.new
end
Sew would be a formula you have defined in this Formula file. This is useful,
eg. see Python's formula. Formula specified in this fashion cannot be linked
into the HOMEBREW_PREFIX, they are considered private libraries. This allows
you to create custom installations that are very specific to your formula.
More features to come, like specifying versions
Specify dependencies in your formula's deps function. You can return an Array,
String or Hash, eg:
def deps
{ :optional => 'libogg', :required => %w[flac sdl], :recommended => 'cmake' }
end
Note currently the Hash is flattened and qualifications are ignored. If you
only return an Array or String, the qualification is assumed to be :required.
Other packaging systems have problems when it comes to packages requiring a
specific version of a package, or some patches that may not work well with
other software. With Homebrew we have some options:
1. If the formula is vanilla but an older version we can cherry-pick the old
version and install it in the Cellar in parallel, but just not symlink it
into /usr/local while forcing the formula that depends on it to link to
that one and not any other versions of it.
2. If the dependency requires patches then we shouldn't install this for use
by any other tools, (I guess this needs to be decided on a per-situation
basis). It can be installed into the parent formula's prefix, and not
symlinked into /usr/local. In this case the dependency's Formula
derivation should be saved in the parent formula's file (check git or
flac for an example of this).
Both the above can be done currently with hacks, so I'll flesh out a proper
way sometime this week.
