Title: Enhance/fix `isatty` to actually handle specifed file descriptors.

Presently, `isatty` only works on a handful of keywords, and uses redirection shorthand (i.e., 0>&2). It is pretty prickly if one doesn't give it an argument that it likes. This change would allow the handling of any normal file path as well, which is how to my intuition at least, a function called _isatty_ should work.

Note that there a bug in fish's built-in `test`, and in order to retain bug-compatible functionality, this is a bit lengthier than it aught to be. See the comments in the commit or the issue.
