Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
Problem: filetype: TI assembly files are not recognized
Solution: inspect '*.sa' and assembly files and detect TI assembly
files, include filetype plugin and syntax script for TI
assembly files (Wu, Zhenyu)

Problem: incorrect return type doc causes luals `Annotations specify that at most 0 return value(s) are required, found 1 returned here instead.` diagnosis
Solution: correct return type doc
Problem: filetype: shaderslang files are not detected
Solution: detect '*.slang' files as shaderslang filetype,
include a filetype and syntax script (mtvare6)

**Problem:** The treesitter `foldexpr` calls `get_parser()` for each
line in the buffer when calculating folds. This can be incredibly slow
for buffers where a parser cannot be found (because the result is not
cached), and exponentially more so when the user has many
`runtimepath`s.
**Solution:** Only fetch the parser when it is needed; that is, only
when initializing fold data for a buffer.

Problem: v:stacktrace has wrong type in Vim9 script.
Solution: Change the type to t_list_dict_any. Fix grammar in docs.

Problem: open_floating_preview() may be hidden behind current window if
that is floating and has a higher zindex.
Solution: Open floating preview with zindex higher than current window.
Problem:
Can't use `n.clear()` to test non-RPC `nvim` invocations. So tests end
up creating ad-hoc wrappers around `system()` or `jobstart()`.
Solution:
- Introduce `n.spawn_wait()`
- TODO (followup PR): Rename `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_wait()`.
It's misleading that `n.spawn()` returns a RPC session...
Problem: filetype: 'jj' filetype is a bit imprecise
Solution: rename 'jj' filetype to 'jjdescription'

Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
* Cancel watcher in the "force" case.
* Cancel watcher outside the async callback. It seems nvim doesn't wait
async jobs on quitting, leaving detached inotifywait processes.
* Clean up cancelling callbacks.
Allows to retrieve the configuration as it will be used by `lsp.enable`
- including the parts merged from `*` and rtp.
This is useful for explicit startup control
(`vim.lsp.start(vim.lsp.config[name])`)

Problem: TI linker files are not recognized
Solution: inspect '*.cmd' files and detect TI linker files

vim-patch:9.1.0983: not able to get the displayed items in complete_info()
Problem: not able to get the displayed items in complete_info()
(Evgeni Chasnovski)
Solution: return the visible items via the "matches" key for
complete_info() (glepnir)

Problem: autocmd to refresh folds always uses the current buffer if the
option type is local. However, the current buffer may not have a parser,
and thus the assert that checks for a parser could fail.
Solution: check if the foldinfo contains the buffer, and only refresh if
so.
Problem: filetype: sh filetype set when detecting the use of bash
Solution: when bash is detected, use 'bash' filetype instead

Problem: There is currently no way to check if a given path is absolute or convert a relative path to an absolute path through the Lua stdlib. `vim.fs.joinpath` does not work when the path is absolute. There is also currently no way to resolve `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
Solution: Add `vim.fs.abspath`, which allows converting any path to an absolute path. This also allows checking if current path is absolute by doing `vim.fs.abspath(path) == path`. It also has support for `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
If root_dir is a function it is evaluated when the client is created to
determine the root directory.
This enables dynamically determining the root directory based on e.g.
project or directory structure (example: finding a parent Cargo.toml
file that contains "[workspace]" in a Rust project).
Problem: filetype: hy history files are not recognized
Solution: detect '*.hy', '.hy-history' files as hy filetype,
detect '.lips_repl_history' files are scheme filetype

vim.diagnostic.set_list() uses chistory to restore the actively selected
entry whenever necessary. This however also results in it displaying
some output in the message bar, but this output isn't useful (and can
even be distracting) when opening the quickfix window. This fixes this
by silencing the chistory command.
