We already have an extensive suite of static analysis tools we use,
which causes a fair bit of redundancy as we get duplicate warnings. PVS
is also prone to give false warnings which creates a lot of work to
identify and disable.
Problem: The style guide states that all switch statements that are not conditional on an enum must have a `default` case, but does not give any explicit guideline for switch statements that are conditional on enums. As a result, a `default` case is added in many enum switch statements, even when the switch statement is exhaustive. This is not ideal because it removes the ability to have compiler errors to easily detect unchanged switch statements when a new possible value for an enum is added.
Solution: Add explicit guidelines for switch statements that are conditional on an enum, clarifying that a `default` case is not necessary if the switch statement is exhaustive. Also refactor pre-existing code with unnecessary `default` cases.
"VimEnter foo" was accepted as a valid event name for "VimEnter".
Events delimited with commas, eg. "VimEnter,BufRead", were also
accepted, even though only the first event was actually parsed.

Adds new API helper macros `CSTR_AS_OBJ()`, `STATIC_CSTR_AS_OBJ()`, and `STATIC_CSTR_TO_OBJ()`, which cleans up a lot of the current code. These macros will also be used extensively in the upcoming option refactor PRs because then API Objects will be used to get/set options. This PR also modifies pre-existing code to use old API helper macros like `CSTR_TO_OBJ()` to make them cleaner.
Instead of nested linked lists, store autocommands in a flat, contiguous
kvec_t, with one kvec_t per event type. Previously patterns were stored
in each node of the outer linked list, so they can be matched only once
on repeating patterns. They are now reference counted and referenced in
each autocommand, and matching is skipped if the pattern repeats. Speeds
up creation and deletion, execution is not affected.

Problem:
Validation messages are not consistently formatted.
- Parameter names sometimes are NOT quoted.
- Descriptive names (non-parameters) sometimes ARE quoted.
Solution:
Always quote the `name` value passed to a VALIDATE macro _unless_ the
value has whitespace.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
Problem: Unlike `:autocmd`, `nvim_create_autocommand()` does not expand
environment variables in the `pattern`, which is unexpected.
Solution: Add a note to the documentation explaining this and suggesting
using `expand()` explicitly.
Omitting 'pattern' in nvim_exec_autocmds should be equivalent to
omitting the 'fname' argument in :doautoall, which is equivalent to
using an empty string as the pattern. Fixes regression introduced
in #19091.
Some people ran into issues trying to use `callback = myluafun` because
of the event data payload.
