Observation shows that this is done only when the top-level batch file
is being run (and then terminates); the echo flag is not restored to its
previous state when a child batch file terminates and gives main back to
its parent batch.
Commands APPEND/DPATH and FTYPE are also concerned by this; however
we do not implement them in our CMD.EXE yet.
These commands set the ERRORLEVEL differently, whether or not they are
run manually from the command-line/from a .BAT file, or from a .CMD file:
- From command-line/.BAT file, these commands set the ERRORLEVEL only if
an error occurs. So, if two commands are run consecutively and the first
one fails, the ERRORLEVEL will remain set even if the second command
succeeds.
- However, when being run from a .CMD file, these command will always
set the ERRORLEVEL. In the example case described above, the second
command that succeeds will reset the ERRORLEVEL to 0.
This behaviour is determined from the top-level batch/script file being
run. This means that, if a .BAT file is first started, then starts a
.CMD file, the commands will still behave the .BAT way; on the opposite,
if a .CMD file is first started, then starts a .BAT file, these commands
will still behave the .CMD way.
To implement this we introduce one global BATCH_TYPE enum variable that
is initialized to the corresponding batch/script file type when the
top-level script is loaded. It is reset to "none" when that script
terminates.

It will be followed with a separate fix for the FOR-loop code.
Fixes some cmd_winetests.
A NULL pointer can be returned for a valid existing batch/FOR variable,
in which case the enhanced-variable getter should return an empty string.
This situation can happen e.g. when forcing a FOR-loop to tokenize a
text line with not enough tokens in it.

- In case execution of all batch contexts is stopped (by selecting "All"
at the Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Break prompt), notify as well the CheckCtrlBreak()
signal handler once there are no more batch contexts (this in effect
resets the internal 'bLeaveAll' static flag in CheckCtrlBreak).
This is an adaptation of the fix present in FreeCOM 1.5, first
described in https://gcfl.net/FreeDOS/command.com/bugs074g.html .
- Introduce a ParseErrorEx() helper that sets the 'bParseError' flag and
displays a customized syntax-error message, only for the first syntax
error encountered. Implement ParseError() around the *Ex function.
- In batch mode, echo the original pre-parsed batch file line if a parse
error has been encountered.
- When running a compound command - including IF, FOR, command blocks -,
and that control flow is modified by any CALL/GOTO/EXIT command,
detect this while running the compound command so as to stop it and go
back to the main batch execution loop, that will then set up the actual
new command to run.
- In GOTO, do not process any more parts of a compound command only when
we have found a valid label.
