Consider subcommands when deciding to invoke Eshell command directly

When an Eshell command contains an asynchronous subcommand (such as
calling an external process), it must be evaluated iteratively.  See
bug#30725.

* lisp/eshell/esh-cmd.el (eshell-invoke-command): Move most of the
logic from here...
(eshell--invoke-command-directly): ... to here. Also add checks for
subcommands.

* test/lisp/eshell/eshell-tests.el (eshell-test--max-subprocess-time):
New variable.
(eshell-wait-for-subprocess): New function.
(eshell-command-result-p): Use 'eshell-wait-for-subprocess'.
(eshell-test/interp-cmd-external): New test (bug#30725).
