mb_string2cells was always called like mb_string2cells(..., -1) so that was
the only codepath that was tested. @tarruda was the first to try to input an
actual length, after which valgrind detected that funny business was going
on.
It's not even possible to do the right thing with the current text codec
infrastructure: they all assume to be working with C strings. Meaning that
if there is no NUL-terminator, they will happily keep on reading past the
end of Pascal strings. Ergo, passing the length parameter is moot. The
condition in the for-loop was wrong as well (but that's no longer relevant).
Also change the return value to size_t, by analogy with strlen.

Most of these functions don't modify their strings, let's make the contract
a bit clearer. In some cases I've tried to get rid of C89-style variable
declarations at the start of functions, now that I was there.
- The 'stripdecls.py' script replaces declarations in all headers by includes to
generated headers.
`ag '#\s*if(?!ndef NEOVIM_).*((?!#\s*endif).*\n)*#ifdef INCLUDE_GENERATED'`
was used for this.
- Add and integrate gendeclarations.lua into the build system to generate the
required includes.
- Add -Wno-unused-function
- Made a bunch of old-style definitions ANSI
This adds a requirement: all type and structure definitions must be present
before INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS-protected include.
Warning: mch_expandpath (path.h.generated.h) was moved manually. So far it is
the only exception.
Problem: Now that nvim/strings.h is correctly namespaced, an issue
that had been masked until now arises:
When compiling, we get a lot of errors because of everywhere
the functions in nvim/strings.h are used, there's no include
to import them.
But, how could this compile and work previously, then? It
turns out that:
- In every such case, we are also including vim.h, which in
turn includes os_unix_defs.h.
- os_unix_defs.h includes <string.h> and also <strings.h> in
some systems (e.g. OSX).
- Build had been modified previously to (even when importing
system headers), prefer equally-named local ones. That was
in fact done as a previous attempt to solve the same issue
we are trying to solve another way now.
So, we were including our "strings.h" as a side-effect of
including <strings.h> through "vim.h" --> "os_unix_defs.h".
Solution: Correctly include "nvim/strings.h" in every file needing it.
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/.
- src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources.
- src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
