Problem:
When '--embed' passed to command line arguments, stdin and stdout
are used for IPC. But when multiple files are passed as
arguments, nvim wrongly sends 'N files to edit' message to its
stdout. As the result, attaching to process from frontend failed.
Solution:
Remove the message because it doesn't fill any purpose.
Check `exists('b:term_title')` to avoid the BufReadCmd for already-initialized
:terminal buffers.
Move the test for `:argadd`.
Add a test for `:edit<CR>`.
Tweak comments and code style.
`lib/queue.h` implements a basic queue. `event/queue.c` implements
a specialized data structure on top of lib/queue.h; it is not a "normal"
queue.
Rename the specialized multi-level queue implemented in event/queue.c to
"multiqueue", to avoid confusion when reading the code.
Before this change one can eventually notice that "macros (uppercase
symbols) are for the normal queue, lowercase operations are for the
multi-level queue", but that is unnecessary friction for new developers
(or existing developers just visiting this part of the codebase).
Because terminfo_stop() already ran, there is not much reason to wait
for the loop to teardown.

This commit doesn't change any behavior, only moves the init out of main.c We
_could_ move some initialization from tui.c:terminfo_start to an earlier phase,
in order to avoid mis-reporting 't_Co' during startup. But this will be messy,
and gains very little: TERM=linux works "good enough" as long as we correct t_Co
in tui.c:terminfo_start (c5b02d5a7).
Current name is inappropriate for the following reasons:
1. It is often masked by local `loop` variables.
2. It cannot be searched for. There are many `loop` variables where `loop` is
some local variable. There are many cases when “loop” word is used in
a comment.
3. It is in any case bad idea to use a generic name as a name of the global
variable. Best if global has module prefix: this is why it is in `main.h`:
`main_loop` both stands for “a main loop” and “a loop defined in `main.*`”.
Since I have no idea how to list every occurrence of this variable method used
to rename it is “remove it from globals.h, try to compile, fix errors”. Thus if
some occurrence was hidden under false `#if` branch it was not replaced.
After 87a49405b0, terminal_open() is not
nested by default. The default "term://" handler depended on that, but
it should instead explicitly raise TermOpen.

Regarding the individual items in the header:
`Vim - Vi improved by Bram Moolenar`
Bram Moolenar is already mentioned throughout the documentation, as
well as the intro screen.
`:help uganda`
It's already shown to all users who don't use `shortmess+=I` upon
starting nvim, and is already placed prominently in help.txt, i.e.,
`:help` run with no arguments.
`:help credits`
Already mentioned near the top of help.txt.
`README.md`
Already mentioned in develop.txt.
"vimrc" refers to all files that are used to configure Neovim. The main
configuration file is init.vim nowadays.
All nvimrc references that are left refer to a local ".nvimrc" which is read
if 'exrc' is set. ".ngvimrc" references were completely wiped.
Closes#3552.
From a very high level point of view, Vim/Nvim can be described as state
machines following these instructions in a loop:
- Read user input
- Peform some action. The action is determined by the current state and can
switch states.
- Possibly display some feedback to the user.
This is not immediately visible because these instructions spread across dozens
of nested loops and function calls, making it very hard to modify the state
machine(to support more event types, for example).
So far, the approach Nvim has taken to allow more events is this:
- At the very core function that blocks for input, poll for arbitrary events.
- If the event received from the OS is user input, just return it normally to
the callers.
- If the event is not direct result of user input(possibly a vimscript function
call coming from a msgpack-rpc socket or a job control callback), return a
special key code(`K_EVENT`) that is handled by callers where it is safer to
perform arbitrary actions.
One problem with this approach is that the `K_EVENT` signal is being sent across
multiple states that may be unaware of it. This was partially fixed with the
`input_enable_events`/`input_disable_events` functions, which were added as a
mechanism that the upper layers can use to tell the core input functions that it
is ready to accept `K_EVENT`.
Another problem is that the mapping engine is implemented in getchar.c
which is called from every state, but the mapping engine is not aware of
`K_EVENT` so events can break mappings.
While it is theoretically possible to modify getchar.c to make it aware of
`K_EVENT`, this commit fixes the problem with a different approach: Model Nvim
as a pushdown automaton(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushdown_automaton). This
design has many advantages which include:
- Decoupling the event loop from the states reponsible for handling events.
- Better control of state transition with less dependency on global variable
hacks(eg: 'restart_edit' global variable).
- Easier removal of global variables and function splitting. That is because
many variables are for state-specific information, and probably ended up being
global to simplify communication between functions, which we fix by storing
state-specific information in specialized structures.
The final goal is to let Nvim have a single top-level event loop represented by
the following pseudo-code:
```
while not quitting
let event = read_event
current_state(event)
update_screen()
```
This closely mirrors the state machine description above and makes it easier to
understand, extend and debug the program.
Note that while the pseudo code suggests an explicit stack of states that
doesn't rely on return addresses(as suggested by the principles of
automata-based programming:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata-based_programming), for now we'll use the
call stack as a structure to manage state transitioning as it would be very
difficult to refactor Nvim to use an explicit stack of states, and the benefits
would be small.
While this change may seem like an endless amount of work, it is possible to
do it incrementally as was shown in the previous commits. The general procedure
is:
1- Find a blocking `vgetc()`(or derivatives) call. This call represents an
implicit state of the program.
2- Split the code before and after the `vgetc()` call into functions that match
the signature of `state_check_callback` and `state_execute_callback.
Only `state_execute_callback` is required.
3- Create a `VimState` "subclass" and a initializer function that sets the
function pointers and performs any other required initialization steps. If
the state has no local variables, just use `VimState` without subclassing.
4- Instead of calling the original function containing the `vgetc()`,
initialize a stack-allocated `VimState` subclass, then call `state_enter` to
begin processing events in the state.
5- The check/execute callbacks can return 1 to continue normally, 0 to break the
loop or -1 to skip to the next iteration. These callbacks contain code that
execute before and after the old `vgetc()` call.
The functions created in step 2 may contain other `vgetc()` calls. These
represent implicit sub-states of the current state, but it is fine to remove
them later in smaller steps since we didn't break compatibility with existing
code.
The new function contains logic that must be executed after handling input in
normal mode and also before the first main loop iteration. Also rename
`main_loop` to `normal_enter` and move it to normal.c
Note about ~/.local/share/nvim/site used in one usr_\* file: this one talks
about user-local installation of third-party plugins, and
~/.local/share/nvim/site is the proper place for them. Most other files talk
about user own configuration and this is ~/.config.
