feat: ":restart [cmd]" can run commands #35045

Browse Source 
Problem:
Not easy for a user to tell ":restart" to "run this command(s) after restarting".

Solution:
All ":restart" args following the optional +cmd arg are treated as a big cmdline that is passed as a "-c" CLI arg when restarting nvim.

Use with `:confirm` to prompt if changes have been made.
Example: `:restart +qall!` stops the server using `:qall!`.
Example: `:restart +qall! lua vim.pack.update()` stops the
server using `:qall!` and starts the new server with the
argument `-c lua vim.pack.update()`. See also |-c|.
Note: |+cmd| defaults to `qall!` if not specified.
