Problem: not possible to assign priority when defining a sign
(Mathias Fußenegger)
Solution: Add the priority argument for the :sign-define ex command and
the sign_define() function (LemonBoy)
Use the specified value instead of the default one (SIGN_DEF_PRIO) when
no priority is explicitly specified in sign_place or :sign place.

This is a breaking change which will make refactor of typval and shada
code a lot easier. In particular, code that would use or check for
v:msgpack_types.binary in the wild would be broken. This appears to be
rarely used in existing plugins.
Also some cases where v:msgpack_type.string would be used to represent a
binary string of "string" type, we use a BLOB instead, which is
vimscripts native type for binary blobs, and already was used for BIN
formats when necessary.
msgpackdump(msgpackparse(data)) no longer preserves the distinction
of BIN and STR strings. This is very common behavior for
language-specific msgpack bindings. Nvim uses msgpack as a tool to
serialize its data. Nvim is not a tool to bit-perfectly manipulate
arbitrary msgpack data out in the wild.
The changed tests should indicate how behavior changes in various edge
cases.
Problem: A custom 'statuscolumn' needs to check a bunch of options and
placed signs to replicate the default number column.
Solution: Rework %l item to include the necessary logic to mimic the
default number column. Remove now redundant %r item.
Problem: the previous documentation falsely states that "v" always
refers to the start of a visual area. In fact, the reference of "v" and
"." complement each other. If the cursor is at the start of
a (characterwise) visual area, then "v" refers to the end of the area.
Solution: be more verbose and explicit about the connection between "."
and "v" and also refer to |v_o| which many vim users will be familiar
with for visual areas.

Problem: there is missing default title highlight when highlight not defined in title text chunk.
Solution: when attr is not set use default title highlight group.
Problem: `CompleteDone` currently does not specify the reason for why completion was done, which is problematic for completion plugins as they cannot know whether the event was triggered due to the completion being canceled, accepted, or for some other reason.
Solution: Add a `reason` key to `v:event`, which is set by `CompleteDone` to indicate why completion ended.
Problem: getregionpos() can't properly indicate positions beyond eol.
Solution: Add an "eol" flag that enables handling positions beyond end
of line like getpos() does (zeertzjq).
Also fix the problem that a position still has the coladd beyond the end
of the line when its column has been clamped. In the last test case
with TABs at the end of the line the old behavior is obviously wrong.
I decided to gate this behind a flag because returning positions that
don't correspond to actual characters in the line may lead to mistakes
for callers that want to calculate the length of the selected text, so
the behavior is only enabled if the caller wants it.

Problem: getregionpos() wrong with blockwise mode and multibyte.
Solution: Use textcol and textlen instead of start_vcol and end_vcol.
Handle coladd properly (zeertzjq).
Also remove unnecessary buflist_findnr() in add_regionpos_range(), as
getregionpos() has already switched buffer.

Problem:
The nvim_win_xx_ns function family introduced in ba0370b1d7
needs more bake-time. Currently it's narrowly defined for windows, but
other scopes ("buffer") and features are likely in the future.
Solution:
- Rename the API with double-underscore to mark it as EXPERIMENTAL.
TODO/FUTURE:
- Rename and change the signature to support more than just "window"
scope, and for other flexibility.
- Open question: we could choose either:
- "store scopes on namespaces", or
- "store namespaces on scopes (w:/b:/…)"
Experimental and subject to future changes.
Add a way to redraw certain elements that are not redrawn while Nvim is waiting
for input, or currently have no API to do so. This API covers all that can be
done with the :redraw* commands, in addition to the following new features:
- Immediately move the cursor to a (non-current) window.
- Target a specific window or buffer to mark for redraw.
- Mark a buffer range for redraw (replaces nvim__buf_redraw_range()).
- Redraw the 'statuscolumn'.
This reverts commit 15e77a56b7.
Subpriorities were added in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27131
as a mechanism for enforcing query order when using iter_matches in the
Tree-sitter highlighter. However, iter_matches proved to have too many
complications to use in the highlighter so we eventually reverted back
to using iter_captures (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27901).
Thus, subpriorities are no longer needed and can be removed.
