sh: Implement simple parameter expansion in PS1 and PS2

This change follows a localized approach within getprompt() and avoids
full parser reentry. While this means we don't support advanced
expansions like ${parameter#pattern}, it provides POSIX-compliant basic
parameter expansion without the complexity of making the parser
reentrant. This is sufficient for the vast majority of use cases.
