Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
Problem: Popup menu internal error with some abbr in completion item.
Solution: Don't compute attributes when there is no corresponding text.
Reduce indent in pum_redraw() while at it (zeertzjq).

Problem: filetype: various ignore are not recognized
Solution: detect rg/docker/npm/vvsce ignore files as 'gitgnore' filetype

Not only prettier, but many programs also support ignore files (like rg,
docker, npm, vscode). So use the gitignore filetype for them due to same syntax

Problem: tests: ruby tests fail with Ruby 3.4
Solution: adjust expected output for Ruby 3.4
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Vim's Ruby tests relied on explicit matching of output texts which are
fragile in design. Ruby 3.4 has changed the output slightly (using
'name' instead of `name', and also using more spaces in dictionary
printouts). Modify the Vim tests to be less fragile to such changes.

Problem: leaking finished exception
(after v9.1.0984)
Solution: use finish_exception to clean up caught exceptions
(Yee Cheng Chin)
In Vimscript, v:exception/throwpoint/stacktrace are supposed to reflect
the currently caught exception, and be popped after the exception is
finished (via endtry, finally, or a thrown exception inside catch).
Vim9script does not handle this properly, and leaks them instead. This
is clearly visible when launching GVim with menu enabled. A caught
exception inside the s:BMShow() in menu.vim would show up when querying
`v:stacktrace` even though the exception was already caught and handled.
To fix this, just use the same functionality as Vimscript by calling
`finish_exception` to properly restore the states. Note that this
assumes `current_exception` is always the same as `caught_stack` which
believe should be the case.
Added tests for this. Also fix up test_stacktrace to properly test the
stack restore behavior where we have nested exceptions in catch blocks
and to also test the vim9script functionality properly.
- Also, remove its dependency on explicitly checking a line number in
runtest.vim which is a very fragile way to write tests as any minor
change in runtest.vim (shared among all tests) would require changing
test_stacktrace.vim. We don't actually need such granularity in the
test.

Problem: Although patch 9.1.0990 fixed a real problem/inconsistency,
it also introduced new behavior that may break BWC and/or be
unexpected. Before 9.1.0990, window commands could make the
topframe smaller (without changing 'cmdheight'; quirk that is
now fixed), but did not allow extending the topframe beyond
the 'cmdheight' set by the user. After 9.1.0990, the user can
reduce the 'cmdheight' below the value they set explicitly,
through window commands, which may lead to confusion.
(aftere v9.1.0990)
Solution: Store the value explicitly set by the user and clamp the
'cmdheight' when resizing the topframe. This also applies to
dragging laststatus, which in contrast to window commands
_did_ allow reducing the 'cmdheight' to values below the one
set by the user. So with this patch there is still new
behavior, but I think in a way that is less surprising.
While at it, also fix a Coverity warning, introduced in
v9.1.0990 (Luuk van Baal)
c97e869535
Problem: Inconsistent behavior when changing cmdheight by resizing the
topframe through wincmds and dragging laststatus. Changing
cmdheight by resizing the topframe does not trigger OptionSet.
Solution: Consolidate logic for changing the cmdheight, set the option
value to handle side-effects (Luuk van Baal)

Problem: GUI tests sometimes fail when setting 'scroll' options

Problem: filetype: APKBUILD files not correctly detected
Solution: detect 'APKBUILD' files as apkbuild filetype,
include a apkbuild syntax script (which basically
just sources the sh.vim syntax file)
(Hugo Osvaldo Barrera)
Vim plugins (e.g.: ALE, nvim-lspconfig, etc) rely on filetype to
determine which integrations/helpers are applicable. They expect
filetype=apkbuild for APKBUILD files.
On the other hand, plugins also enable bash-specific linters and
functionality when filetype=bash, but APKBUILD files are POSIX sh, not
bash, so these often provide bogus results.
Change the filetype for APKBUILD to a 'apkbuild', so that tools and
ftplugin can properly target these files. This filetype will use the
existing `sh` syntax rules, since these are applicable for them.

Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.

Problem:
- API functions using `try_start` directly instead of `TRY_WRAP`, do not
surface the underlying error message, and instead show generic things
like "Failed to set buffer".
- Error handling code is duplicated in the API impl, instead of
delegating to the vim buffer/window handling logic.
Solution:
- Use `TRY_WRAP`.
