Problem: Option metadata like list of valid values for an option and
option flags are not listed in the `options.lua` file and are instead
manually defined in C, which means option metadata is split between
several places.
Solution: Put metadata such as list of valid values for an option and
option flags in `options.lua`, and autogenerate the corresponding C
variables and enums.
Supersedes #28659

Problem:
The way option scopes currently work is inflexible and does not allow for nested
option scopes or easily finding the value of an option at any arbitrary scope
without having to do long handwritten switch-case statements like in
`get_varp()`. `.indir` is also confusing and redundant since option indices for
each scope can be autogenerated.
Solution:
Expand option scopes in such a way that an option can support any amount of
scopes using a set of scope flags, similarly to how it's already done for option
types. Also make options contain information about its index at each scope it
supports. This allows for massively simplifying `get_varp()` and
`get_varp_scope()` in the future by just using a struct for options at each
scope. This would be done by creating a table that stores the offset of an
option's variable at a scope by using the option's index at that scope as a key.
This PR also autogenerates enums for option indices at each scope to remove the
need for `.indir` entirely, and also to allow easily iterating over options all
options that support any scope.

Problem: message history is fixed to 200

Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
Problem: 'findexpr' can't be used for lambads

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.
Solution: Set v:fname to the cmdline argument as-is (zeertzjq).

Instead of keeping `P_ALLOCED` and `P_DEF_ALLOCED` flags to check if an
option value is allocated, always allocate option values to simplify the
logic.
Ref: #25672
Problem: We use `void *` for option default values, which is confusing and can cause problems with type-correctness. It also doesn't accomodate for multitype options. On top of that, it also leads to default boolean option values not behaving correctly on big endian systems.
Solution: Use `OptVal` for option default values.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `:set {option}<` removes the local value for all global-local options instead of just string global-local options.
- `:setlocal {option}<` copies the global value to the local value for number and boolean global-local options instead of removing the local value.
Problem: tests: no error check when setting global 'isk'

'belloff' option doesn't contain "term" or "all".
This commit makaes the following changes to the vim help syntax:
- fix excessive URL detection in help, because `file:{filename}` in
doc/options.txt is determined to be a URL.
- update highlighting N for :resize in help
- split Italian-specific syntax into separate help script
- highlight `Note` in parentheses in help
- update 'titlestring' behaviour in documentation for invalid '%' format

- Problem: `^@` raises an error.
Solution: Store as `<Nul>`.
- Problem: `<t_xx` does not raise an error.
Solution: Raise an error if closing `>` is missing.
- Problem: Single `<` or `^` raises an error. It is inconvenient for users.
Solution: They are stored as a single character.

Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default

Handle variant selector VS16 turning some codepoints into double-width

Problem: Contents of terminal buffer are not reflown when Nvim is
resized.
Solution: Enable reflow in libvterm by default. Now that libvterm is
vendored, also fix "TUI rapid resize" test failures there.
Note: Neovim's scrollback buffer does not support reflow (yet), so lines
vanishing into the buffer due to a too small window will be restored
without reflow.
Problem: Some other options reset curswant unnecessarily when set.

Problem: signed number detection for CTRL-X/A can be improved

Based on feedback from #28324, pass -H and -I to regular grep
(available on all platforms officially supported by Neovim), and
only pass -uu to ripgrep. This makes :grep ignore binary files by
default in both cases.
