Problem:
There is no unified notion of a "user action".
Vim processes input by one-char-at-a-time, and mostly throws away any
hints it might gather about the user's action, with one exception: it
stores the last _edit_ action (the "redo buffer", encoded as
unstructured `["x][v][count]body` bytes).
Plugins can only observe individual keys (vim.on_key) and high-level
effects (TextChanged, CursorMoved).
Solution:
- Users can subscribe to `CmdAtom` events to handle any user action.
- Event is deferred; handlers cannot cancel or interfere with user
actions.
- Capture `CmdSpec` from the normal/insert/visual subsystems.
- typeahead/readahead stay unstructured (`buffheader_T`): they are key
streams, not commands.
- the redo/record buffers become `StringBuilder`: fewer
allocations/copies.
- Repurpose the input/redo engine to accept `CmdSpec` objects.
"atom": one repeatable unit of user input, as a resolved (post-mapping)
keysequence plus structured fields. Only user actions, not `:normal`,
API calls, or non-"t" `feedkeys`.
BREAKING: dot-repeat of an Insert session, replays the entire session
including cursor-moves (:help ins-repeat).
BREAKING: dot-repeat of a Visual operation, replays the selection
instead of operating on a fixed-size region.
Problem: 'showcmd' shows wrong Visual block size with 'linebreak' after
end char (after 7.4.467).
Solution: Exclude 'linebreak' from end position. Also fix confusing test
function names.

Problem: 'linebreak' may still apply to leading whitespace

Solution: Compare pointers instead of virtual columns.

Problem: linebreak applies for leading whitespace
Solution: only apply linebreak, once we have found non-breakat chars in
the line

Problem: Wrong display with wrapping virtual text or unprintable chars,
'showbreak' and 'smoothscroll'.
Solution: Don't skip cells taken by 'showbreak' in screen lines before
"w_skipcol". Combined "n_skip" and "skip_cells".
