// Simplify modifies a node to remove redundant pieces of syntax, and returns
// whether any changes were made.
//
// The changes currently applied are:
//
//	Remove clearly useless parentheses       $(( (expr) ))
//	Remove dollars from vars in exprs        (($var))
//	Remove duplicate subshells               $( (stmts) )
//	Remove redundant quotes                  [[ "$var" == str ]]
//	Merge negations with unary operators     [[ ! -n $var ]]
//	Use single quotes to shorten literals    "\$foo"
