Problem:
The way option scopes currently work is inflexible and does not allow for nested
option scopes or easily finding the value of an option at any arbitrary scope
without having to do long handwritten switch-case statements like in
`get_varp()`. `.indir` is also confusing and redundant since option indices for
each scope can be autogenerated.
Solution:
Expand option scopes in such a way that an option can support any amount of
scopes using a set of scope flags, similarly to how it's already done for option
types. Also make options contain information about its index at each scope it
supports. This allows for massively simplifying `get_varp()` and
`get_varp_scope()` in the future by just using a struct for options at each
scope. This would be done by creating a table that stores the offset of an
option's variable at a scope by using the option's index at that scope as a key.
This PR also autogenerates enums for option indices at each scope to remove the
need for `.indir` entirely, and also to allow easily iterating over options all
options that support any scope.

Problem: too many strlen() calls in getchar.c
Solution: refactor code and reduce strlen() calls

Problem: No longer able to show prompt messages with vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Do not execute callback in fast context for prompt message
kinds. These events must be safe to show the incoming message
so the event itself serves to indicate that the message
should be shown immediately.
Problem: setting 'cmdheight' may cause hit-enter-prompt and echo output
to be missing
Solution: Before cleaning the cmdline, check the need_wait_return flag

Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
**Problem:** Currently node names with non-alphanumeric, non
underscore/hyphen characters (only possible with anonymous nodes) are
not given a proper error message. See tree-sitter issue 3892 for more
details.
**Solution:** Apply a different scanning logic to anonymous nodes to
correctly identify the entire node name (i.e., up until the final double
quote)
Problem: Crash when initializing for --startuptime errors.
Solution: Report the error to stderr, as neither logging nor messages
have been initialized yet.
Problem: Ext_messages chunks only contain the highlight attr id, which
is not very useful for vim.ui_attach() consumers.
Solotion: Add highlight group id to message chunks, which can easily be
used to highlight text in the TUI through nvim_buf_set_extmark():
hl_group = synIDattr(id, "name").
This is needed specifically for the second signature of
add_custom_command, which appends an operation to an existing target.
This will prevent the cmake warning CMP0175.
Reference: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0175.html
Problem: Highlight group id is not propagated to the end of the message call
stack, where ext_messages are emitted.
Solution: Refactor message functions to pass along highlight group id
instead of attr id.
Problem:
The `varp` argument for `set_option` is extraneous as the option's
variable pointer can be retrieved using the option's index and flags.
Solution:
Remove the `varp` argument for `set_option`
Problem: Inccommand preview callback may flush inaccurate cmdline cursor position.
Solution: Ensure cursor is where it belongs when doing command preview.
Problem: Can receive dozens of <MouseMove> events for same cell position. #30965
Solution: Leverage check_multiclick() to detect if cell position is unchanged.
Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
while the implementation is not tied to screen chars, it is a reasonable
expectation to support the same size. If nvim is able to display a
multibyte character, it will accept the same character as input,
including in normal mode commands like r{char}
Problem: :setglobal doesn't work properly for 'ffu' and 'tsrfu' when

Problem: `get_option_value_for` can perfectly replace `get_option_value_strict`, making the latter redundant.
Solution: Remove `get_option_value_strict`
Problem:
There are three separate functions for printing the `:set` command for
an setting an option to a file descriptor. These functions are used when
creating the session file for an option. Having a function for each type
increase code duplication and also makes it harder to add logic for new
option types.
Solution:
Replace `put_set(num|bool|string)` with a single `put_set` function
which works for all option types, this reduces code duplication and also
makes it trivial to add support for more option types in the future.
Problem: too many strlen() calls in register.c

Problem: both `PmenuMatch` and `PmenuMatchSel` can provide helpful
information about characters which actually match query in completion
candidates. This is not as useful with default regular match, but much
more useful with 'completopt+=fuzzy'.
Solution: make both highlight groups bold. This will also affect
(i.e. benefit) other color schemes which do not define groups
separately.
This is possible since the recently merged changes to `PmenuMatch` and
`PmenuMatchSel` combine attributes with underlying "base" groups.

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.

Problem: Currently we use macros with hardcoded flag values for option flags, which is messy and requires a lot of mental math for adding / removing option flags. Using macros for option flags also means that they cannot be used inside debuggers.
Solution: Create a new `OptFlags` enum that stores all the option flags in an organized way that is easier to understand.
Problem: Selecting an item in the right-click menu when clicking to the
left/right of it is confusing, especially in a UI that doesn't
support 'mousemoveevent'.
Solution: Don't select an item when clicking to the left/right of the
right-click menu.
