location response. (Hayaki Saito)

The upstream patch touched a lot of files which don't exist in nvim,
hence the small size of this commit.
Problem: Window drawn wrong when 'laststatus' is zero and there is a
command-line window. (Yclept Nemo)
Solution: Set the status height a bit later. (Christian Brabandt)
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/v7-4-706
Problem: Insert mode completion with complete() may have CTRL-L work like
CTRL-P.
Solution: Handle completion with complete() differently. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto, Christian Brabandt, Hirohito Higashi)
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/v7-4-653
* Set JEMALLOC_NO_DEMANGLE to be able to use `je_*` functions,
regardless of how jemalloc was compiled (--with-jemalloc-prefix)
* Show jemalloc information in Neovim's version output.
Resolve#2449.
Problem: Ranges for arguments, buffers, tabs, etc. are not checked to
be valid but limited to the maximum. This can cause the
wrong
thing to happen.
Solution: Give an error for an invalid value. (Marcin Szamotulski)
Use windows range for ":wincmd".
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?r=v7-4-565
Problem: Using a range for window and buffer commands has a few
problems.
Cannot specify the type of range for a user command.
Solution: Add the -addr argument for user commands. Fix problems.

Patch 7.4.539 (after 7.4.530)
Problem: Crash when computing buffer count. Problem with range for
user commands. Line range wrong in Visual area.
Solution: Avoid segfault in compute_buffer_local_count(). Check for
CMD_USER when checking type of range. (Marcin Szamotulski)
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?name=v7-4-539
Problem: When using Insert mode completion combined with autocommands the
redo command may not work.
Solution: Do not save the redo buffer when executing autocommands. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto)

Problem: Value of v:hlsearch reflects an internal variable.
Solution: Make the value reflect whether search highlighting is actually
displayed. (Christian Brabandt)
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-537
Problem: When using 'incsearch' "2/pattern/e" highlights the first match.
Solution: Move the code to set extra_col inside the loop for count. (Ozaki
Kiichi)
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-532
Problem: curs_rows() function is always called with the second argument
false.
Solution: Remove the argument. (Christian Brabandt)
validate_botline_win() can then also be removed.
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-550
This spares some work and also prevents list_join() from calling ga_init()
with a growsize of 0 which would lead to the nvimlog being littered with:
[warning @ ga_set_growsize:64] 17675 - trying to set an invalid ga_growsize: 0
Also in Vim 7.4.702

Problem: A search with end offset gets stuck at end of file. (Gary Johnson)
Solution: When a search doesn't move the cursor repeat it with a higher
count. (Christian Brabandt)
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-636
Problem: Setting 'history' to a big value causes out-of-memory errors.
Solution: Limit the value to 10000. (Hirohito Higashi)
https://github.com/vim/vim/tree/v7-4-336
Problem: In a help buffer the global 'foldmethod' is used. (Paul Marshall)
Solution: Reset 'foldmethod' when starting to edit a help file. Move the
code to a separate function.
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-515
Problem: In Ex mode, cyrillic characters are not handled. (Stas Malavin)
Solution: Support multi-byte characters in Ex mode. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-324
Problem: Language mapping also applies to mapped characters.
Solution: Add the 'langnoremap' option, when on 'langmap' does not apply to
mapped characters. (Christian Brabandt)
https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v7-4-502
Despite the +/- prefix, the majority of these features have been made
non-optional at compile time, so their presence here is misleading.
Also mention `:h vim-differences` to make it clear our that many
features are non-optional.
Problem: Cannot append a list of lines to a file.
Solution: Add the append option to writefile(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?r=v7-4-503
-Ported old legacy test over to
test/functional/legacy/writefile_spec.lua
-Tests for mapping and signs from the original patch were removed since
they have nothing to do this with feature
Tested with: make oldtest, make test on OS X.
