Reduce the amount of string allocations and length calculations.
With the following benchmark:
```lua
total = 0
for _ = 1, loops do
local start = now()
vim.api.nvim_cmd({cmd = 'let', args = {'a', '=', '1'}}, {})
total = total + (now() - start)
end
print('nvim_cmd', total / loops)
```

Cherry-pick ins_compl_len() -> get_compl_len() from patch 8.2.4001.
Revert a71c5e9eb9: ctrl_x_mode is no
longer a global variable, so l_ctrl_x_mode is no longer needed.
In case nvim A sends nvim_error_event to nvim B, it would
respond with another nvim_error_event due to unknown
request name. Fix this by adding dummy request handler for now.
** Refactor
Previously most functions used to "get" a mark returned a position,
changed the line number and sometimes changed even the current buffer.
Now functions return a {x}fmark_T making calling context aware whether
the mark is in another buffer without arcane casting. A new function is
provided for switching to the mark buffer and returning a flag style
Enum to convey what happen in the movement. If the cursor changed, line,
columns, if it changed buffer, etc.
The function to get named mark was split into multiple functions.
- mark_get() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_global() -> xfmark_T
- mark_get_local() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_motion() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_visual() -> fmark_T
Functions that manage the changelist and jumplist were also modified to
return mark types.
- get_jumplist -> fmark_T
- get_changelist -> fmark_T
The refactor is also seen mainly on normal.c, where all the mark
movement has been siphoned through one function nv_gomark, while the
other functions handle getting the mark and setting their movement
flags. To handle whether context marks should be left, etc.
** Mark View
While doing the refactor the concept of a mark view was also
implemented:
The view of a mark currently implemented as the number of lines between
the mark position on creation and the window topline. This allows for
moving not only back to the position of a mark but having the window
look similar to when the mark was defined. This is done by carrying and
extra element in the fmark_T struct, which can be extended later to also
restore horizontal shift.
*** User space features
1. There's a new option, jumpoptions+=view enables the mark view restoring
automatically when using the jumplist, changelist, alternate-file and
mark motions. <C-O> <C-I> g; g, <C-^> '[mark] `[mark]
** Limitations
- The view information is not saved in shada.
- Calls to get_mark should copy the value in the pointer since we are
using pos_to_mark() to wrap and provide a homogeneous interfaces. This
was also a limitation in the previous state of things.

Rename:
- `underlineline` to `underdouble`
- `underdot` to `underdotted`
- `underdash` to `underdashed`
`underdouble` also now takes higher precedence than `undercurl`.
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.
This marks the following Vim patches as ported:
vim-patch:8.1.1785: map functionality mixed with character input
Problem: Map functionality mixed with character input.
Solution: Move the map functionality to a separate file. (Yegappan

vim-patch:8.2.3643: header for source file is outdated

Also cherry-pick a change for <unique> mappings from patch 8.2.0807.
Rename map_clear_mode() to do_mapclear().
global-local window options need to be handled specially. When `win` is
given but `scope` is not, then we want to set the local version of the
option but not the global one, therefore we need to force
`scope='local'`.
Note this does not apply to window-local only options (e.g. 'number')
Example:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {}) -- global-local window option; set global value
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0}) -- global-local window option; set local value
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {}) -- local window option
is now equivalent to:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {})
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0, scope='local'}) -- changed from before
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {win=0}) -- unchanged from before
Only the global-local option with a `win` provided gets forced to local
scope.
The main motivation for this is for the buf and win cases which need to
set up and restore context, and it's what specifically makes the
semantics of options nuanced, and thus this should not be repeated more
than once.
- nvim_get/set_option_value now share argument validation.
Note for external UIs: Nvim can now emit multiple "redraw" event batches
before a final "flush" event is received. To retain existing behavior,
clients should make sure to update visible state at an explicit "flush"
event, not just the end of a "redraw" batch of event.
* Get rid of copy_object() blizzard in the auto-generated ui_event layer
* Special case "grid_line" by encoding screen state directly to
msgpack events with no intermediate API events.
* Get rid of the arcane notion of referring to the screen as the "shell"
* Array and Dictionary are kvec_t:s, so define them as such.
* Allow kvec_t:s, such as Arrays and Dictionaries, to be allocated with
a predetermined size within an arena.
* Eliminate redundant capacity checking when filling such kvec_t:s
with values.

Solution:
Change terminal_destroy and terminal_close to set caller storage to NULL,
similar to XFREE_CLEAR. This aligns with the pattern found already in:
terminal_destroy e897ccad3e
term_delayed_free 3e59c1e20d
Problem:
1. Log messages (especially in CI) are hard to correlate with tests.
2. Since b353a5c05f#11886, dumplog() prints the logs next to test
failures. This is noisy and gets in the way of the test results.
Solution:
1. Associate an incrementing id with each test and include it in log
messages.
- FUTURE: add v:name so Nvim instances can be formally "named"?
2. Mention "child" in log messages if the current Nvim is a child (based
on the presence of $NVIM).

Cherry-pick: :0verbose fix from patch 8.2.4741
The size of long varies depending on architecture, in contrast to the
MAXLNUM constant which sets the maximum allowable number of lines to
2^32-1. This discrepancy may lead to hard to detect bugs, for example
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/18454. Setting linenr_T to a
fix maximum size of 2^32-1 will prevent this type of errors in the
future.
Also change the variables `amount` and `amount_after` to be linenr_T
since they're referring to "the line number difference" between two
texts.
Currently this is more or less a straight off reimplementation,
but this allow further optimizations down the line, especially
for avoiding memory allocations of rpc objects.
Current score for "make functionaltest; make oldtest" on a -DEXITFREE build:
is 117 055 352 xfree(ptr != NULL) calls (that's NUMBERWANG!).
Also avoid referring to mappings as "keymaps" in commands and docs.
*map_empty_rhs* *map-empty-rhs*
You can create an empty {rhs} by typing nothing after a single CTRL-V (you
have to type CTRL-V two times). Unfortunately, you cannot do this in a vimrc
file.
