Problem: Character classes are not well tested. They can differ between
platforms.
Solution: Add tests. In the documentation make clear which classes depend
on what library function. Only use :cntrl: and :graph: for ASCII.

OpenBSD's man returns all candidates when searching with -w instead of
the first one it finds. So this patch takes the first one if multiple
entries are found.

After this change we never release blocks from memory (in practice it
never happened because the memory limits are never reached). Let the OS
take care of that.
---
On today's systems the 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' values are huge (4+ GB)
so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of
time checking if the limit was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own
memory-paging mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the
operating system already has virtual memory and will swap to the disk if
programs start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory
usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping
to disk every time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once memfile.c is simple enough it could be
replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (mmap,
MemoryViewOfFile...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover
changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered
with the huge limits set by default.
Remove "" from sys.path (typically the first entry), which could cause
e.g. "logging" to be added from the current directory.
This gets done already for loading the host in
runtime/autoload/provider/pythonx.vim.
ref #6725
fsync() is very slow on some systems. And since the parent commit, Nvim
is smarter about flushing files at certain times (e.g. CursorHold),
regardless of whether 'fsync' is enabled. So it's less risky to disable
'fsync'.
Profiling showed slow (2-4s) :write and :quit caused by fsync():
:quit
shada_write_file(NULL, false);

children_kill_cb() is racey. One obvious problem is that
process_close_handles() is *queued* by on_process_exit(), so when
children_kill_cb() is invoked, the dead process might still be in the
`loop->children` list. If the OS already reclaimed the dead PID, Nvim
may try to SIGKILL it.
Avoid that by checking `proc->status`.
Vim doesn't have this problem because it doesn't attempt to kill
processes that ignored SIGTERM after a timeout.

Problem: Loading file type detection slows down startup.
Solution: Move functions to an autoload script.
