This commit refactors `splits/2` implementation using `foreach` syntax
and reduces intermediate arrays. This refactoring removes an unnecessary
private (and undocumented) filter `_nwise` and closes#3148.
The introduction says all the usage examples (e.g. of truncate_stream,
etc) in the section use [0,[1]] as input, but they actually use [1,[2]].
["a",["b"]] seems better than [1,[2]] as the string values won't be
confusable with the indexes in <path>.
This comment predates the addition of $ARGS in jq 1.6, so there was no
way to access named arguments with an invalid identifier. Rather than
forbid such names, update the manual to clarify.
I also changed the behavior of limit/2 with negative count to emit an error, like nth/2 does.
Also, I redefined nth/2 using skip/2 to minimize the impact of growth of builtin filters.
Fixes issue with confusion about features that has not been
released yet.
