Problem:
When the CurSearch highlight group is set, and a search is active and
you are listening to the remote UI "win_viewport" events, then typing is
very unresponsive, because "win_viewport" is not sent as soon as the
character is typed. On the other hand if you refresh the screen on
"flush", the screen will scroll with a delay since "win_viewport" comes
too late. I estimate this delay be up to one second, but it varies.
Solution:
Call validate_cursor() before drawing the screen, just like other modes.
No tests have been added because only the intermediate state is wrong.
Previously, when using foldmethod=indent, inserting an unindented line
would inadvertently open closed folds below it.
As a performance improvement, folds were only updated once, across all
lines, after Insert mode was exited.
Now, the performance improvement is no longer being used when
foldmethod=indent, so folds are updated multiple times during Insert
mode, but only across the lines that are changing, which preserves the
folds (and their open/close states) instead of recreating them.
* perf(rtp): reduce rtp scans
Problem:
Scanning the filesystem is expensive and particularly affects
startuptime.
Solution:
Reduce the amount of redundant directory scans by relying less on glob
patterns and handle vim and lua sourcing lower down.
Problem: Cursor is not after inline virtual text with left gravity
when inserting after the end of the line.
Solution: Add width of inline virtual text with left gravity to cursor
virtcol in Insert mode even if on a NUL.
Extreme testcase:
```lua
vim.fn.setline(1, 'foobar')
local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace('')
for _ = 1, 100000 do
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_extmark(0, ns, 0, 3, {})
end
local start_time = vim.loop.hrtime()
vim.fn.virtcol('$')
local stop_time = vim.loop.hrtime()
print(stop_time - start_time)
```

Problem: Bashslashes added as regexp in runtime completion may be
treated as path separator with some 'isfname' value.
Solution: Make curly braces work for runtime completion and use it.
Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem:
Sometimes, when nvim sends the `win_viewport` event, for example when scrolling
with visible folds on the screen, it reports the `scroll_delta` value one batch
into "future". So when the client application is trying to show the new viewport
it's not yet updated, resulting in temporary corruption / screen flickering.
For more details see #23609, and starting from [this comment](
https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/1790#issuecomment-1518697747) in
https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/1790,, where the issue was first
detected. Note that some of the conclusions in those are not fully accurate, but
the general observations are.
Solution:
When there are pending updates to a Window, delay the `win_viewport` UI event
until the updates are sent. This ensures that there's no flush between sending
the viewport and updating of the lines corresponding to the new viewport.
Document the existing viewport behaviour (for cases where there are no
extra flushes), give a hint about how applications can deal with the slightly
surprising behaviour of the viewport event being sent after the updates.

Problem: nvim_buf_set_text(), nvim_open_term() and termopen() all change buffer
text, which is forbidden during textlock. Additionally, nvim_open_term() and
termopen() may be used to convert the cmdwin buffer into a terminal buffer,
which is weird.
Solution: Allow nvim_buf_set_text() and nvim_open_term() in the cmdwin, but
disallow nvim_open_term() from converting the cmdwin buffer into a terminal
buffer. termopen() is not allowed in the cmdwin (as it always operates on
curbuf), so just check text_locked().
Also happens to improve the error in #21055: nvim_buf_set_text() was callable
during textlock, but happened to check textlock indirectly via u_save();
however, this caused the error to be overwritten by an unhelpful "Failed to
save undo information" message when msg_list == NULL (e.g: an `<expr>` mapping
invoked outside of do_cmdline()).
Problem: some API functions that check textlock (usually those that can change
curwin or curbuf) can break the cmdwin.
Solution: make FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK call text_locked() instead, which already
checks for textlock, cmdwin and `<expr>` status.
Add FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK_ALLOW_CMDWIN to allow such functions to be usable in the
cmdwin if they can work properly there; the opt-in nature of this attribute
should hopefully help mitigate future bugs.
Also fix a regression in #22634 that made functions checking textlock usable in
`<expr>` mappings, and rename FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK to FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK.
