Problem:
cmdwin (the `:q` cmdline buffer) has various limitations which require
special-casing all over the codebase.
Besides complicating the code, it also breaks async plugins if they try
to create buffers/windows after some work is done, if the user happens
to open cmdwin at the wrong the moment:
Lua callback: …/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:531:
E11: Invalid in command-line window; <CR> executes, CTRL-C quits
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'nvim_buf_delete'
…/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:531: in function <…/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:526>
Solution:
Just say no to "inception". Reimplement cmdwin as a normal buffer+window.
All of the cmdwin contortions (in both core, and innocent plugins) exist
literally only to support "inception": recursive
cmdwin-in-cmdline-things, like `<c-r>=`, `/`, search-during-substitute,
`:input()`, etc. So we just won't support that (though I have
a potential plan for that later, which I call "modal parking lot").
The benefit is that plugins, and core, no longer have to care about
cmdwin.
BONUS:
- mouse-drag on vertical separators works (it only worked for
horizontal/statusline before)
- inccommand-in-cmdwin now works correctly, for free (thus don't need
#40077).
POTENTIAL FOLLOWUPS
- Drop `CHECK_CMDWIN` ("E11: Invalid in command-line window"), allow chaos.
- Unify `BUFLOCK_OK` / `LOCK_OK` ?
DESIGN:
- Eliminate lots of C globals, `EX_CMDWIN`, etc.
- `text_locked()` no longer reports true for cmdwin.
- cmdwin = a normal window with 'winfixbuf', 'bufhidden=wipe',
'buftype=nofile'. Invariants come from those options rather than
special cases throughout the codebase.
- `nv_record` for q:/q//q? calls Lua
`nlua_call_vimfn("vim._core.cmdwin", …)`. No `K_CMDWIN`
/ cmdline-reader detour.
- `cedit_key` (`c_CTRL-F`) schedules a deferred event that calls
`vim._core.cmdwin.open(type, content, pos)` and returns `Ctrl_C` so
the in-flight cmdline cancels. Reader state is not serialized; instead
the captured `(type, line, col)` is replayed via
`nvim_feedkeys(type..line.."<CR>", "nt", …)` after user confirms.
- On confirm/cancel: `<CR>` / `<C-C>` calls into Lua which closes the
window and re-feeds the cmdline.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Expression-register cmdline (`<C-R>=` from insert-mode) no longer
supports cmdwin. Same applies to `input()` / `inputlist()` (already
covered by `text_locked`).
- Usage of cmdwin in macros/mappings will probably break (assuming they
ever worked).
Problem: autocmds that switch windows may cause them to remain with
w_locked set, preventing them from being closed longer than
intended.
Solution: Unset w_locked in the window where it was set (Sean Dewar).
closes: vim/vim#19716bae31c35bb
Also move alist_add_list's ga_grow inside the if block, so it's only called when
check_arglist_locked is OK, like Vim.
I also notice a redundant return at the end of the block; could be useful if
more code is added later, so I'm leaving it.
Problem: tests: not checking error numbers properly.
Solution: Add a trailing comma to avoid matching a different error
number with the same prefix (zeertzjq)
closes: vim/vim#1715967fe77d272
Problem: A BufAdd autocommand may cause alist_add() to use freed
memory, this is caused by the w_locked variable unset too
early (henices)
Solution: in trigger_undo_ftplugin() only set w_locked to false, if it
was false when calling the function.

Problem: Unnecessary use of STRCAT() in au_event_disable(). STRCAT()
seeks to the end of new_ei, but here the end is already known.
Solution: Use STRCPY() and add p_ei_len to new_ei. Also fix a typo in a
comment. Add a test that 'eventignore' works in :argdo
(zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#16844969e11a18b
Cherry-pick p_ei_len from patch 9.1.0256.
Problem: [security]: use-after-free in alist_add()
(SuyueGuo)
Solution: Lock the current window, so that the reference to
the argument list remains valid.

Problem: Tests using term_wait() can still be flaky.
Solution: Increase the wait time when rerunning a test. (James McCoy,
closesvim/vim#5899) Halve the initial times to make tests run faster
when there is no rerun.
