cmd.exe (shell) is faster and more reliable than powershell (.NET frontend).
It's best for short and basic tests that don't require non-trivial scripting.
cmd.exe doesn't support sleep so use powershell's Start-Sleep as substitute.
closes#7698
Wrapping a command in double-quotes allows cmd.exe to safely dequote the
entire command as if the user entered the entire command in an
interactive prompt. This reduces the need to escape nested and uneven
double quotes.
The `/s` flag of cmd.exe makes the behaviour more reliable:
:set shellcmdflag=/s\ /c
Before this patch, cmd.exe cannot use cygwin echo.exe (as opposed to
cmd.exe `echo` builtin) even if it is wrapped in double quotes.
Example:
:: internal echo
> cmd /s /c " echo foo\:bar" "
foo\:bar"
:: cygwin echo.exe
> cmd /s /c " "echo" foo\:bar" "
foo:bar
During provider dispatch, eval_call_provider() saves global
state--including pointers, such as `autocmd_fname`--into
`provider_caller_scope` which is later restored by f_rpcrequest().
But `autocmd_fname` is special-cased in eval_vars(), for performance
(see Vim patch 7.2.021; this is also the singular purpose of the
`autocmd_fname_full` global. Yay!)
If eval_vars() frees `autocmd_fname` then its provider-RPC-scoped alias
becomes a problem.
Solution: Don't free autocmd_fname in eval_vars(), just copy into it.

Problem: When executing autocommands getting the full file name may be
slow. (David Kotchan)
Solution: Postpone calling FullName_save() until autocmd_fname is used.

Update vim_diff.txt with :lmap differences, update documentation on
'keymap', and add tests.
The tests added are to demonstrate the behaviour specified in the
documentation of :loadkeymap.
This means that the major way that :lmap mappings are applied works as
one would expect with macros.
This also means that having a translation with 'keymap' does not
preclude using mappings in insert mode with :imap.
There is some behaviour that we keep with the recent changes, and some
behaviour that we change.
Instetad of having one failing test covering all behaviour, we split
the test into two.
Infinite timeout results in hangs which waste time. If some test needs
longer than 10s to wait for a message, it should specify the timeout
explicitly.
