Make sure cmdline updates will receive highlight specifications the same
way as screen cells. This is controlled by the ext_newgrid option so
nothing is changed by default (as screen cells are also not changed by
default). This was already done for the cmdline itself in #8221, this
extends it to cmdline_block. Which currently doesn't store highlights,
but the placeholder should be one that makes sense for future use.
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
Problem: Setting 'filetype' internally may cause the current buffer and
window to change unexpectedly.
Solution: Set curbuf_lock. (closesvim/vim#1734)

Problem: After aborting an Ex command g< does not work. (Marcin
Szamotulski)
Solution: Postpone clearing scrollback messages to until the command line
has been entered. Also fix that the screen isn't redrawn if after
g< the command line is cancelled.

Problem: When typing a search pattern CTRL-G and CTRL-T are ignored when
there is typeahead.
Solution: Don't pass SEARCH_PEEK and don't call char_avail(). (haya14busa,

Problem: The ~ character is not escaped when adding to the search pattern
with CTRL-L. (Ramel Eshed)
Solution: Escape the character. (Christian Brabandt)

Make HlAttr contain highlighting state for both color modes (cterm and rgb).
This allows us to implement termguicolors completely in the TUI.
Simplify some logic duplicated between ui.c and screen.c. Also avoid
some superfluous highlighting reset events.
Problem: When 'wildmenu' is set and 'wildmode' has "longest" then the first
file name is highlighted, even though the text shows the longest
match.
Solution: Do not highlight the first match. (LemonBoy, closesvim/vim#1602)

Problem: CTRL-G/CTRL-T don't work with incsearch and empty pattern.
Solution: Use the last search pattern. (Christian Brabandt, closesvim/vim#2292)

Problem: 'hlsearch' highlighting not removed after incsearch (lacygoill)
Solution: Redraw all windows. Start search at the end of the match. Improve
how CTRL-G works with incremental search. Add tests. (Christian
Brabandt, Hirohito Higashi, haya14busa, closesvim/vim#2267)
