Unix's typical locale-related environment variables aren't always set
appropriately on a Mac. Instead of relying on them, query the locale
information using Mac specific APIs and then set $LANG appropriately for
the rest of nvim.
Closes#5873
Get terminal debugging info by starting Nvim with 'verbose' level 3:
nvim -V3log
This is like Vim's `:set termcap`, which was removed in Nvim (and would
be very awkward to restore because of the decoupled UI).
Since "builtin" terminfo definitions were implemented (7cbf52db1b),
the decisions made by tui.c and terminfo.c are more relevant. Exposing
that decision in the 'term' option helps with troubleshooting.
Also: remove code that allowed setting t_Co. `:set t_Co=…` has never
worked; the highlight_spec test asserting that nvim_set_option('t_Co')
_does_ work makes no sense, and should not have worked.
Problem: Cannot set 'dictionary' to a path.
Solution: Allow for slash and backslash. Add a test (partly by Daisuke
Suzuki, closesvim/vim#1279, closesvim/vim#1284)

Problem: Illegal memory access when 'complete' ends in a backslash.
Solution: Check for trailing backslash. (Dominique Pelle, closesvim/vim#1478)

Problem: getwinvar() returns wrong Value of boolean and number options,
especially non big endian systems. (James McCoy)
Solution: Cast the pointer to long or int. (closesvim/vim#1060)

Ironically, higher layers trying to be "smart" about the terminal type
but not actually being very smart at all, makes it more difficult rather
than less to correct the TUI layer.
Note that this orphans the os_term_is_nice() function and down the road,
presuming that we do not have to revert this, that function can be removed.
It incorporates knowledge of terminal types and behaviours in the wrong place.
As part of the refactoring in #5119, some vim_strchr() were changed to
strchr(). However, vim_strchr() behaves differently than strchr() when
c is NUL, returning NULL instead of a pointer to the NUL.
Revert the strchr() calls where it isn't known whether c is NUL, since
this causes a semantic change the surrounding code doesn't expect. In
the case of #6650, this led to a heap overrun.
Closes#6650
Problem: Cannot map <M-">. (Stephen Riehm)
Solution: Solve the memory access problem in another way. (Dominique Pelle)
Allow for using <M-\"> in a string.

On today's systems these values are huge (4GB in my machine with 8GB of RAM
since it's set as half the available memory by default) so the limits are
never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of time checking if the limit
was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own memory
swapping mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the operating
system already virtualized the memory and will swap to the disk if programs
start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory usage
nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping to disk every
time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once `memfile.c` is simple enough it could be replaced by
actual operating system memory mapping (`mmap`, `MemoryViewOfFile`...).
This change does not prevent Vim to recover changes from swap files since the
swapping code is never triggered with the huge limits set by default.
Problem: The 'langnoremap' option leads to double negatives. And it does
not work for the last character of a mapping.
Solution: Add 'langremap' with the opposite value. Keep 'langnoremap' for
backwards compatibility. Make it work for the last character of a
mapping. Make the test work.
