feat: ignore swapfile for running Nvim processes #25336

Browse Source 
Problem:
The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file
already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is
annoying and irrelevant:
- "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are
  almost never wanted.
- swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is
  enabled by default.
  - Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'.

Solution:
Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following:
1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically
   chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile,
   which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`.
2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message.
3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.

You can find this in the user manual, section |11.3|.
*W325*
The default |SwapExists| handler (|default-autocmds|) skips the |E325| prompt
(selects "(E)dit") if the swapfile owner process (1) is still running and (2)
was started by the current user. This presumes that you normally don't want
to be bothered with the |ATTENTION| message just because you happen to edit
the same file from multiple Nvim instances. In the worst case (a system
crash) there will be more than one swapfile for the file; use |:recover| to
inspect all of its swapfiles.
