PATCH: pws-24: prompt escapes for script/function and lineno



This implements the prompt escape %N for the nearest enclosing
script/sourced file/function, and %i for the corresponding line number
(sorry, %l, %L and %n were taken).  The main reason for having these is
that the PROMPT_SUBST option is set by emulation, so an `emulate zsh' will
turn it off, hence sticking $0 and $LINENO in PS4 is only partially
successful, and expecting functions to set it seems unfair.  Another reason
is that, because of FUNCTION_ARGZERO, it's not always possible to get the
name of whatever's being executed as the internal scriptname variable isn't
directly accessible.  I hope this seems reasonable.  People used to
complain when you added new % sequences, but with the size of the code
nowadays maybe they don't.

Maybe we should make '+%N:%i:%_> ' or something such the default PS4?
