feat(ui): vim.ui.input(opts.scope) #39570

Browse Source 
Problem: There is no way for a `vim.ui.input` caller to indicate for
  which scope the input is. As in "This input is for something at cursor
  scope". This information can be useful for `vim.ui.input`
  implementation to tweak its behavior and presentation:
  - Show different floating window depending on the scope. For example:
    - Near cursor for "cursor" scope.
    - At line start for "line" scope.
    - In window corner for "buffer" and "window" scopes.
    - In whole editor corner for "tabpage", "editor", "project" scopes.
  - Navigate through history only for inputs with the same scope.

Solution: Document new `opts.scope` for `vim.ui.input`. Use it in the
  codebase.
