it's not necessary, and was the cause of a recent issue,
which i mitigated, but why mitigate it?
prevent bugs. don't use eval unless absolutely necessary.

lib.sh: write version/versiondate to dotfiles
and this bug report:
https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/284
The report indicates that the above commit broke bash,
when sh (on the user's system) is bash.
I know sometimes when using bash, I need to use the
back slash when dealing with dots, e.g. when grepping
something.
Also double quote references to dotfiles, e.g. when
directing the output of printf.
I never noticed the issue myself, since I use dash.

the command -v check has been removed, since this function
already calls git immediately, which would accomplish the
same thing since that causes an error if git isn't there.

setvars is always invoked with eval, so make the error
condition a message for eval, to ensure that it is reliably
handled, in case of error condition.

one function, for one task. skeleton functions for
performing multiple tasks. that is the basic coding
style guideline for lbmk.

On initialisation of the child instance, ./mk is
executed, but an error from it won't reveal what
command was actually executed.
This change makes that the case, since x_ does
print the command that caused an error.
This is useful for debugging. However, we don't
want x_ to cause a real exit, because we still
need to handle the lock file from the parent
instance.
Therefore, the first child instance is executed
inside a subshell, and xbmk_rval is set if that
subshell returns non-zero.

this is in prep for the next change, where non-init
functions will be moved to another file, again named
include/lib.sh
