m_property: add a way to switch on property values in property expansion

Allows for example: --status-msg='${?pause==yes:(Paused) } ...' to
emulate the normal terminal status line. It's useful in other situations
too.

I'm a bit worried about extending this mini-DSL, and sure hope nobody
will implement a generic formula evaluator at some point in the future.
But for now we're probably safe.

@ -509,15 +509,27 @@ The following expansions are supported:
fails, expand to an error string. (Use ``${NAME:}`` with a trailing
``:`` to expand to an empty string instead.)
If ``NAME`` is prefixed with ``=``, expand to the raw value of the property
(see below).
(see section below).
``${NAME:STR}``
Expands to the value of the property ``NAME``, or ``STR`` if the
property cannot be retrieved. ``STR`` is expanded recursively.
``${?NAME:STR}``
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` is available.
``${!NAME:STR}``
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` cannot be
retrieved.
``${?NAME:STR}``
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` is available.
``${?NAME==VALUE:STR}``
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` expands to a
string equal to ``VALUE``. You can prefix ``NAME`` with ``=`` in order to
compare the raw value of a property (see section below). If the property
is unavailable, or other errors happen when retrieving it, the value is
never considered equal.
Note that ``VALUE`` can't contain any of the characters ``:`` or ``}``.
Also, it is possible that escaping with ``"`` or ``%`` might be added in
the future, should the need arise.
``${!NAME==VALUE:STR}``
Same as with the ``?`` variant, but ``STR`` is expanded if the value is
not equal. (Using the same semantics as with ``?``.)
``$$``
Expands to ``$``.
``$}``
