Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt)
Use it by default.

Avoid clearing the screen in most situations. NOT_VALID should be
equivalent to CLEAR unless some external force messed up the terminal,
for these situations <c-l> and :mode will still clear the screen.
Also eliminate some obsolete code in screen.c, that dealt with that in
vim drawing window 1 can mess up window 2, but this never happens in
nvim.
But what about slow terminals? There is two common meanings in which
a terminal is said to be "slow":
Most commonly (and in the sense of vim:s nottyfast) it means low
bandwidth for sending bytes from nvim to the terminal. If the screen is
very similar before and after the update_screen(CLEAR) this change
should reduce bandwidth. If the screen is quite different, but there is
no new regions of contiguous whitespace, clearing doesn't reduce
bandwidth significantly. If the new screen contains a lot of whitespace,
it will depend of if vsplits are used or not: as long as there is no
vsplits, ce is used to cheaply clear the rest of the line, so
full-screen clear is not needed to reduce bandwith. However a left
vsplit currently needs to be padded with whitespace all the way to the
separator. It is possible ec (clear N chars) can be used to reduce
bandwidth here if this is a problem. (All of this assumes that one
doesn't set Normal guibg=... on a non-BCE terminal, if you do you are
doomed regardless of this change).
Slow can also mean that drawing pixels on the screen is slow. E-ink
screens is a recent example. Avoiding clearing and redrawing the
unchanged part of the screen will always improve performance in these
cases.
Problem: Weird autocmd may cause arglist to be changed recursively.
Solution: Prevent recursively changing the argument list. (Christian
Brabandt, closesvim/vim#2472)

- Checks for ECHOE, ICANON were left over from Vim code. We already
reference the symbols elsewhere without checking.
- newline_on_exit, intr_char: Both are vestigial remnants of Vim 4.x,
not implemented in Nvim. intr_char is a termios/stty feature, it's
probably not useful because users have other ways to configure their
terminals.
Store text in ScreenLines as UTF-8, so it can be sent as-is to the UI
layer. `utfc_char2bytes(off,buf)` is removed, as `ScreenLines[off]` now
already contains this representation.
To recover the codepoints that the screen arrays previously contained, use
utfc_ptr2char (or utf_ptr2char to ignore composing chars).
NB: This commit does NOT change how screen.c processes incoming UTF-8 data
from buffers, cmdline, messages etc. Any algorithm that operates on UCS-4
(like arabic shaping, treatment of non-printable chars)
is left unchanged for now.
silent-mode (-es/-Es) has been broken for years. The workaround up to
now was to include --headless. But --headless is not equivalent because
it prints all messages, not the limited subset defined by silent-mode.
Problem: No autocmd triggered in Insert mode with visible popup menu.
Solution: Add TextChangedP. (Prabir Shrestha, Christian Brabandt,
closesvim/vim#2372, closesvim/vim#1691)
Fix that the TextChanged autocommands are not always triggered
when sourcing a script.

Make `:verbose set ...` show when an option was last modified by an
API client or Lua script/chunk. In the case of an API client, the
channel ID is displayed.
After this change we never release blocks from memory (in practice it
never happened because the memory limits are never reached). Let the OS
take care of that.
---
On today's systems the 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' values are huge (4+ GB)
so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of
time checking if the limit was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own
memory-paging mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the
operating system already has virtual memory and will swap to the disk if
programs start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory
usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping
to disk every time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once memfile.c is simple enough it could be
replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (mmap,
MemoryViewOfFile...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover
changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered
with the huge limits set by default.
It's a micro-optimization; check path_is_absolute_path(autocmd_fname)
instead.
The main optimization (which is still in place) afforded by Vim 7.2.021
was to avoid resolving <afile> when it is not needed.
Most fonts should have these by now. Both are a significant visual
improvement.
- Vertical connecting bar `│` is used by tmux, pstree, Windows 7 cmd.exe
and nvim-qt.exe.
- Middle dot `·` works on Windows 7 cmd.exe, nvim-qt.exe.
For reference: tmux uses these chars to draw lines: │ ├ ─
Problem: Cannot make Vim fail on an internal error.
Solution: Add IEMSG() and IEMSG2(). (Domenique Pelle) Avoid reporting an
internal error without mentioning where.
