Problem: cannot complete option values
Solution: Add completion functions for several options
Add cmdline tab-completion for setting string options
Add tab-completion for setting string options on the cmdline using
`:set=` (along with `:set+=` and `:set-=`).
The existing tab completion for setting options currently only works
when nothing is typed yet, and it only fills in with the existing value,
e.g. when the user does `:set diffopt=<Tab>` it will be completed to
`set diffopt=internal,filler,closeoff` and nothing else. This isn't too
useful as a user usually wants auto-complete to suggest all the possible
values, such as 'iblank', or 'algorithm:patience'.
For set= and set+=, this adds a new optional callback function for each
option that can be invoked when doing completion. This allows for each
option to have control over how completion works. For example, in
'diffopt', it will suggest the default enumeration, but if `algorithm:`
is selected, it will further suggest different algorithm types like
'meyers' and 'patience'. When using set=, the existing option value will
be filled in as the first choice to preserve the existing behavior. When
using set+= this won't happen as it doesn't make sense.
For flag list options (e.g. 'mouse' and 'guioptions'), completion will
take into account existing typed values (and in the case of set+=, the
existing option value) to make sure it doesn't suggest duplicates.
For set-=, there is a new `ExpandSettingSubtract` function which will
handle flag list and comma-separated options smartly, by only suggesting
values that currently exist in the option.
Note that Vim has some existing code that adds special handling for
'filetype', 'syntax', and misc dir options like 'backupdir'. This change
preserves them as they already work, instead of converting to the new
callback API for each option.

Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

Use `tic -x` instead of `tic` to include any unknown capabilities in a modern `terminfo.src` as user-defined ones, instead of dropping them. Modern ncurses behavior with `tic -x` will not change.

Problem: filename expansion using ** in bash may fail
Solution: Try to enable the globstar setting
Starting with bash 4.0 it supports extended globbing using the globstar
shell option. This makes matching recursively below a certain directory
using the ** pattern work as expected nowadays. However, we need to
explicitly enable this using the 'shopt -s globstar' bash command.
So let's check the bash environment variable $BASH_VERSINFO (which is
supported since bash 3.0 and conditionally enable the globstar option,
if the major version is at least 4. For older bashs, this at least
shouldn't cause errors (unless one is using really ancient bash 2.X or
something).

Recommend adding a space after i.e. `--- @see`.
The "space" variant is common for the vast majority of docstring formats
such as doxygen, javadoc and typescript.
Problem:
NVIM_APPNAME does not allow path separators in the name, so relative
paths can't be used:
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/first-config" nvim
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/second-config" nvim
Solution:
Let NVIM_APPNAME be a relative path. Absolute paths are not supported.
fix#23056fix#24966
A lot of updated places in the docs were already incorrect since long
since they did not reflect the default behaviour.
"[dos format]" could've been argued being better for discoverability
but that ship has already sailed as it is no longer displayed by default.
The "f" flag was removed in f7da472257.
The value of the "f" flag is no longer listed in the 'shortmess'
description and it cannot be disabled, so having it in the default value
is pointless and confusing.
Oldtests clean up after themselves, and the options that need operators
to align with Vim all deny duplicates, so there is no need to set them
to default.
Also make the variable name that test_listchars.vim uses to align with
Vim more obvious.
Not everything needs to be crazy overconfigurable.
Also fixes a warning in latest clang which didn't approve of
the funky math switch statement in append_arg_number
- Remove the usage of the term "defer" to avoid confusion with
`vim.defer_fn`, which also calls `vim.schedule_wrap` internally.
- Explicitly state that `vim.schedule_wrap` returns a function in the
text.
- Mention that arguments are passed along.
- Include a usage example.
- Rename param to `fn`.
Problem: r_CTRL-C works differently in visual mode
Solution: Make r_CTRL-C behave consistent in visual mode
in terminal and Windows GUI
in visual mode, r CTRL-C behaves strange in Unix like environments. It
seems to end visual mode, but still is waiting for few more chars,
however it never seems to replace it by any characters and eventually
just returns back into normal mode.
In contrast in Windows GUI mode, r_CTRL-C replaces in the selected area
all characters by a literal CTRL-C.
Not sure why it behaves like this. It seems in the Windows GUI, got_int
is not set and therefore behaves as if any other normal character has
been pressed.
So remove the special casing of what happens when got_int is set and
make it always behave like in Windows GUI mode. Add a test to verify it
always behaves like replacing in the selected area each selected
character by a literal CTRL-C.

Problem:
With incremental injection parsing, injected languages' parsers parse
only the relevant regions and stores the result in _trees with the index
of the corresponding region. Therefore, there can be holes in _trees.
Solution:
* Use generic table functions where appropriate.
* Fix type annotations and docs.
Problem

If a highlighter query returns a significant number of predicate
non-matches, the highlighter will scan well past the end of the window.
Solution
---
In the iterator returned from `iter_captures`, accept an optional
parameter `end_line`. If no parameter provided, the behavior is
unchanged, hence this is a non-invasive tweak.
