sh: Expand here documents in the current process.

Expand here documents at the same point other redirections are expanded but
use a non-fork subshell environment (like simple command substitutions) for
compatibility. Substitition errors result in an empty here document like
before.

As a result, a fork is avoided for short (<4K) expanded here documents.

Unexpanded here documents (with quoted end marker after <<) are not affected
by this change. They already only forked when >4K.

Side effects:
* Order of expansion is slightly different.
* Slow expansions are not executed in parallel with the redirected command.
* A non-fork subshell environment is subtly different from a forked process.
