In lesson 2.6, users are asked to remove the second, forth and fifth
lines with `dd` command, then they are asked to undo twice to make the
text go back to original state. But after that, the mark ✗ appears
again, which confuses the user because they think they do something
wrong. This is a limitation with the current implementation, which is
based on line number only.
Solution:
Reimplement interactive marks as extmarks in Lua. This also make the
feature less fragile, as users can remove, add some arbitrary lines
without breaking the interactive marks.

Problem: tests: need a test for the new-style tutor.tutor, patch
9.1.1384 broke the expected positions for the signs
Solution: Update all number keys in tutor.tutor.json to match the
correct line numbers in tutor.tutor, replace tabs by spaces,
add a screen-dump test to verify it does not regress

Problem:
- Lesson 7.3 (Cmdline Completion) teaches an important way to discover
Nvim features. I think users should learn it before they start
configuring Nvim
- Nvim can be configured in Lua as well, but lesson 7.2 (Configuring
Nvim) only mentions init.vim. And I think Nvim is promoting Lua more
Solution:
- Move lesson 7.2 to be after lesson 7.3
- Lesson 7.2 should teach about init.lua

Problem:
There are some "boilerplate" steps for new users. Although we are
constantly improving defaults and lifting patterns into core, users
eventually want to know how to start their own config, add plugins, etc.
Solution:
Add `runtime/example_init.lua` and refer to it from docs.
Problem: Some parts of the tutor are outdated.
- For example, pressing `<Tab>` after typing `:e` does not complete the
command `:edit`, but shows a completion menu with the first entry being
`:earlier`.

Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

Problem: "NOTE"s, inline Vim script code, and links ending in digits may not be
highlighted correctly within the :Tutor.
Solution: set an explicit value for ":syntax iskeyword" that includes digits. Do
it after ":syntax include"s, so the included syntax/sh.vim doesn't mess with the
value.
Increase screen test width so all text within the conclusion section is visible.

Problem:
Some steps in :Tutor don't work on Windows.
Solution:
Add support for `{unix:...,win:...}` format and transform the Tutor contents
depending on the platform.
