Problem:
There is currently no global option to define the default border style for floating windows. This leads to repetitive code when developers need consistent styling across multiple floating windows.
Solution:
Introduce a global option winborder to specify the default border style for floating windows. When a floating window is created without explicitly specifying a border style, the value of the winborder option will be used. This simplifies configuration and ensures consistency in floating window appearance.

Problem: Combined highlighting was not applied to nvim_eval_statusline(),
and 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Solution: Add an additional `groups` element to the return value of
`nvim_eval_statusline()->highlights`. This is an array of stacked
highlight groups (highest priority last). Also resolve combined
highlights for the 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Expose/synchronize some drawline.c logic that is now mimicked in
three different places.

When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets
the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the
parent terminal to match.
This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal
emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the
virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to
change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the
TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups.
The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor'
value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the
TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal
windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is
no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to
highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to
differentiate non-focused terminal windows.
BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.

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.

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: Currently we use macros with hardcoded flag values for option flags, which is messy and requires a lot of mental math for adding / removing option flags. Using macros for option flags also means that they cannot be used inside debuggers.
Solution: Create a new `OptFlags` enum that stores all the option flags in an organized way that is easier to understand.
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.

Problem: Currently, the `immutable` property of options can be applied for options that are hidden and options whose value simply can't be changed. Which is problematic when attempting to convert an option like `'maxcombine'` into an immutable option, because trying to `:set` an immutable option currently gives an error, which is only desired behavior for hidden options, not options that are actually immutable.
Solution: Separate the `immutable` property into two distinct `hidden` and `immutable` properties. Change all options with the `immutable` property to use the `hidden` property instead. Also add `p_mco` as an `immutable` option, as its value cannot be changed, and the underlying variable is not used anywhere.
Problem: Setting some options changes curswant unnecessarily.
Solution: Add a P_HLONLY flag that prevents changing curswant.

Remove `export` pramgas from defs headers as it causes IWYU to believe
that the definitions from the defs headers comes from main header, which

Problem: The maximum 'statuscolumn' width and grow behavior is undocumented.
Solution: Define, use and document the maximum 'statuscolumn' width and grow behavior.
Problem: We have `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` macros to represent an option's type, which is redundant because `OptValType` can already do that. The current implementation of option type flags is also too limited to allow adding multitype options in the future.
Solution: Remove `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` and replace it with a new `type_flags` attribute in `vimoption_T`. Also do some groundwork for adding multitype options in the future.
Side-effects: Attempting to set an invalid keycode option (e.g. `set t_foo=123`) no longer gives an error.
Problem: [security]: stack-buffer-overflow in option callback functions
Solution: pass size of errbuf down the call stack, use snprintf()
instead of sprintf()
We pass the error buffer down to the option callback functions, but in
some parts of the code, we simply use sprintf(buf) to write into the error
buffer, which can overflow.
So let's pass down the length of the error buffer and use sprintf(buf, size)
instead.

Problem: We use the `p_force_on` and `p_force_off` variables to check if a variable is immutable and what its default value is. This is not only hacky and unintuitive, but also is limited to only boolean options.
Solution: Replace `p_force_on` and `p_force_off` with an `immutable` property for options, which indicates if an option is immutable. Immutable options cannot be changed from their default value.

Problem: buffer text with composing chars are converted from UTF-8
to an array of up to seven UTF-32 values and then converted back
to UTF-8 strings.
Solution: Convert buffer text directly to UTF-8 based schar_T values.
The limit of the text size is now in schar_T bytes, which is currently
31+1 but easily could be raised as it no longer multiplies the size
of the entire screen grid when not used, the full size is only required
for temporary scratch buffers.
Also does some general cleanup to win_line text handling, which was
unnecessarily complicated due to multibyte rendering being an "opt-in"
feature long ago. Nowadays, a char is just a char, regardless if it consists
of one ASCII byte or multiple bytes.
The 'termsync' option enables a mode (provided the underlying terminal
supports it) where all screen updates during a redraw cycle are buffered
and drawn together when the redraw is complete. This eliminates tearing
or flickering in cases where Nvim redraws slower than the terminal
redraws the screen.
Problem: cmdline completion should consider key option
Solution: Disable cmdline completion for key option, slightly
refactor how P_NO_CMD_EXPAND is handled
Harden crypto 'key' option: turn off cmdline completion, disable set-=
"set-=" can be used maliciously with a crypto key, as it allows an
attacker (who either has access to the computer or a plugin author) to
guess a substring by observing the modified state. Simply turn off
set+=/-=/^= for this option as there is no good reason for them to be
used.
Update docs to make that clear as well.
Also, don't allow cmdline completion for 'key' as it just shows *****
which is not useful and confusing to the user what it means (if the user
accidentally hits enter they will have replaced their key with "*****"
instead).
Move logic to better location, don't use above 32-bit for flags
Move P_NO_CMD_EXPAND to use the unused 0x20 instead of going above
32-bits, as currently the flags parameter is only 32-bits on some
systems. Left a comment to warn that future additions will need to
change how the flags work either by making it 64-bit or split into two
member vars.
Also, move the logic for detecting P_NO_CMD_EXPAND earlier so it's not
up to each handler to decide, and you won't see the temporary "..." that
Vim shows while waiting for completion handler to complete.

Problem: cannot complete option values
Solution: Add completion functions for several options
Add cmdline tab-completion for setting string options
Add tab-completion for setting string options on the cmdline using
`:set=` (along with `:set+=` and `:set-=`).
The existing tab completion for setting options currently only works
when nothing is typed yet, and it only fills in with the existing value,
e.g. when the user does `:set diffopt=<Tab>` it will be completed to
`set diffopt=internal,filler,closeoff` and nothing else. This isn't too
useful as a user usually wants auto-complete to suggest all the possible
values, such as 'iblank', or 'algorithm:patience'.
For set= and set+=, this adds a new optional callback function for each
option that can be invoked when doing completion. This allows for each
option to have control over how completion works. For example, in
'diffopt', it will suggest the default enumeration, but if `algorithm:`
is selected, it will further suggest different algorithm types like
'meyers' and 'patience'. When using set=, the existing option value will
be filled in as the first choice to preserve the existing behavior. When
using set+= this won't happen as it doesn't make sense.
For flag list options (e.g. 'mouse' and 'guioptions'), completion will
take into account existing typed values (and in the case of set+=, the
existing option value) to make sure it doesn't suggest duplicates.
For set-=, there is a new `ExpandSettingSubtract` function which will
handle flag list and comma-separated options smartly, by only suggesting
values that currently exist in the option.
Note that Vim has some existing code that adds special handling for
'filetype', 'syntax', and misc dir options like 'backupdir'. This change
preserves them as they already work, instead of converting to the new
callback API for each option.
