For example, '${echo -e "hi\nbye"}[1]' should expand to "bye".
* lisp/eshell/esh-var.el (eshell-parse-variable-ref): Support applying
indices to '${}', '$()', and '$<>' forms.

(esh-var-test/interp-cmd-external-indices)
(esh-var-test/quoted-interp-lisp-indices)
(esh-var-test/quoted-interp-cmd-indices): New tests.
Since '$var[hello 0]' doesn't make sense when 'var' is a string, the
previous restriction was unnecessary.
* lisp/eshell/esh-var.el (Commentary): Update documentation.
(eshell-apply-indices): Allow "plain" strings to split strings.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-var-test.el
(esh-var-test/interp-var-string-split-indices)
(esh-var-test/quoted-interp-var-string-split-indices): Update tests.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Dollars expansion): Update documentation.
Previously, more-complex index expansions, like '$var[":" 0]' or
'$var[$(expr) 0]' failed to parse correctly.
* lisp/eshell/esh-var.el (Commentary): Clarify indexing and length
expansions.
(eshell-parse-indices): Expand docstring and support parsing inside
double-quotes.
(eshell-eval-indices): New function.
(eshell-parse-variable): Use it.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-var-tests.el (eshell-test-value): New defvar.

For example,
echo "${echo hi}"
previously tried to run the program named 'echo hi', instead of 'echo'
with the argument 'hi'.
