Fix bug in std dirs drop; improve documentation (#9449)
# Description

When the directory stack contains only two directories, then std dirs
drop
used to misbehave and (essentially) drop the other directory, instead of
dropping the current directory.

This is fixed by always cd'ing for std dirs drop.

Before:

    /tmp〉enter ..
    /〉dexit
    /〉

After:

    /tmp〉enter ..
    /〉dexit
    /tmp〉


Additionally, I propose to explain the relevant environment variables a
bit
more thoroughly.


# User-Facing Changes

- Fix bug in dexit (std dirs drop) when two directories are remaining

# Tests + Formatting

Added a regression test. Made the existing test easier to understand.

# Maintain a list of working directories and navigate them
# The directory stack.
#
# Exception: the entry for the current directory contains an
# irrelevant value. Instead, the source of truth for the working
# directory is $env.PWD. It has to be this way because cd doesn't
# know about this module.
#
# Example: the following state represents a user-facing directory
# stack of [/a, /var/tmp, /c], and we are currently in /var/tmp .
#
# PWD = /var/tmp
# DIRS_POSITION = 1
# DIRS_LIST = [/a, /b, /c]
#
# This situation could arise if we started with [/a, /b, /c], then
# we changed directories from /b to /var/tmp.
