signs: support multiple columns #9295

closes #990
closes #9295

- Support for multiple auto-adjusted sign columns.
  With this change, having more than one sign on a line, and with the
  'auto' setting on 'signcolumn', extra columns will shown automatically
  to accomodate all the existing signs.

  For example, suppose we have this view:

   5147             }
   5148
   5149             return sign->typenr;
   5150         }
   5151     }
   5152     return 0;
   5153 }
   5154

  We have GitGutter installed, so it tells us about modified lines that
  are not commmited. So let's change line 5152:

     5147             }
     5148
     5149             return sign->typenr;
     5150         }
     5151     }
   ~ 5152     return 0;
     5153 }
     5154

  Now we add a mark over line 5152 using 'ma' in normal mode:

      5147             }
      5148
      5149             return sign->typenr;
      5150         }
      5151     }
  a ~ 5152     return 0;
      5153 }
      5154

  Previously, Vim/Nvim would have picked only one of the signs,
  because there was no support for having multiple signs in a line.

- Remove signs from deleted lines.
  Suppose we have highlights on a group of lines and we delete them:

   +     6 use std::ops::Deref;
   --+   7 use std::borrow::Cow;
   --+   8 use std::io::{Cursor};
         9 use proc_macro2::TokenStream;
        10 use syn::export::ToTokens;
   --+  11 use std::io::Write;
   >>   12 use std::ops::Deref;

  Without this change, these signs will momentarily accumulate in
  the sign column until the plugins wake up to refresh them.

  + --+ --+ --+ >>  6

  Discussion: It may be better to extend the API a bit and allow this
  to happen for only certain types of signs. For example, VIM marks
  and vim-gitgutter removal signs may want to be presreved, unlike
  line additions and linter highlights.

- 'signcolumn': support 'auto:NUM' and 'yes:NUM' settings
- sort signs according to id, from lowest to highest. If you have
  git-gutter, vim-signature, and ALE, it would appear in this order:
  git-gutter - vim-signature - ALE.
- recalculate size before screen update
- If no space for all signs, prefer the higher ids (while keeping the
  rendering order from low to high).
- Prevent duplicate signs. Duplicate signs were invisible to the user,
  before using our extended non-standard signcolumn settings.
- multi signcols: fix bug related to wrapped lines.
  In wrapped lines, the wrapped parts of a line did not include the extra
  columns if they existed. The result was a misdrawing of the wrapped
  parts. Fix the issue by:
    1. initializing the signcol counter to 0 when we are on a wrap boundary
    2. allowing for the draw of spaces in that case.
