Problem: Cannot append a list of lines to a file.
Solution: Add the append option to writefile(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?r=v7-4-503
-Ported old legacy test over to
test/functional/legacy/writefile_spec.lua
-Tests for mapping and signs from the original patch were removed since
they have nothing to do this with feature
Tested with: make oldtest, make test on OS X.

- process spawning was decoupled from the rest of the job control logic. The
goal is reusing it for spawning processes connected to pseudo terminal file
descriptors.
- job_start now receives a JobOptions structure containing all the startup
options.
- Removed term.c, term.h and term_defs.h
- Tests for T_* values were removed. screen.c was simplified as a
consequence(the best strategy for drawing is implemented in the UI layer)
- Redraw functions now call ui.c functions directly. Updates are flushed with
`ui_flush()`
- Removed all termcap options(they now return empty strings for compatibility)
- &term/&ttybuiltin options return a constant value(nvim)
- &t_Co is still available, but it mirrors t_colors directly
- Remove cursor tracking from screen.c and the `screen_start` function. Now the
UI is expected to maintain cursor state across any call, and reset it when
resized.
- Remove unused code
- Remove abstract_ui global, now it is always active
- Remove some terminal handling code
- Remove unused functions
- Remove HAVE_TGETENT/TERMINFO/TERMIOS/IOCTL #ifdefs
- Remove tgetent/terminfo from version.c
- Remove curses/terminfo dependencies
- Only start/stop termcap when starting/exiting the program
- msg_use_printf will return true if there are no attached UIs(
messages will be written to stdout)
- Remove `ex_winpos`(implement `:winpos` with `ex_ni`)
Problem: In some situations, when setting up an environment to trigger an
autocommand, the environment is not properly restored.
Solution: Check the return value of switch_win() and call restore_win()
always. (Daniel Hahler)

Regarding dict_lookup() in eval.c: both definitions are the same, the
only difference being the spacing between the indirection operator and
the indentation level.
- Set 't_Co' to 256 at startup. The value can be changed by the user for
compatibility with terminals that are less capable.
- `has('gui_running')` will return 1 if at least one rgb UI is attached.
Even though these changes are hacky, they are necessary to make the transition
to the new UI architecture smoother.
Problem : getdigits() currently returns a long, but at most places,
return value is casted (unsafely) into an int. Making casts
safe would introduce a lot of fuss in the form of assertions
checking for limits.
Note : We cannot just change return type to int, because, at some
places, legitimate long values are used. For example, in
diff.c, for line numbers.
Solution : Introduce new functions:
- get_digits() : Gets an intmax_t from a string.
- get_int_digits() : Wrapper for ints.
- get_long_digits() : Wrapper for longs.
And replace getdigits() invocations by the appropiate
wrapper invocations.
For garbage collection all lists are kept in first_list, a list of all
lists.
free_unref_items() searches through first_list and removes unreferenced
lists from it (by calling list_free(..., FALSE)). But after a list was
removed, the search continues from the beginning of first_list (not sure
how many lists were really removed and where to continue in first_list).
This is not necessary anymore since vim-patch 7.0.135, because a call to
list_free(...,FALSE) makes sure, that no other lists (and dictionaries)
are freed. So we always know, that the next list in first_list is
still valid (allocated or NULL) and can be used to continue the search.
Likewise for dictionaries.

Problem: gettabvar() is not consistent with getwinvar() and getbufvar().
Solution: Return a dict with all variables when the varname is empty.

A similar macro is defined in the Linux kernel [1].
To refactor the code I used a slightly modified Coccinelle script I found in
[2].

Problem: getreg() does not distinguish between a NL used for a line
break and a NL used for a NUL character.
Solution: Add another argument to return a list. (ZyX)
