...in order to retrieve highlights.
Added test/functional/api/highlight_spec.lua
HL_NORMAL is not really a good name, since it's more like an empty attribute than the normal's one.
If one pays attention, syn_cterm_attr2entry is never called with attr=0 because it's always special cased before.
I suggest in subsequent PRs we remove the ATTR_OFF and just insert an EMPTY ATTR/RESET_ATTR/UNINITIALIZED for id 0.
Problem: when processing cycle such as
:for pat in [' \ze*', ' \zs*']
: try
: let l = matchlist('x x', pat)
: $put ='E888 NOT detected for ' . pat
: catch
: $put ='E888 detected for ' . pat
: endtry
:endfor
`:let l = …` throwing an error causes this error to be caught after
color_cmdline attempts to get callback for highlighting next line (the one with
`$put = 'E888 NOT…`). Saving/restoring state prevents this from happening.
Problem: When creating a bufref, then using :bwipe and :new it might get
the same memory and bufref_valid() returns true.
Solution: Add br_fnum to check the buffer number didn't change.

Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.
Closes#6159
Also re-word some error messages:
- "Key does not exist: %s"
- "Invalid channel: %<PRIu64>"
- "Request array size must be 4 (request) or 3 (notification)"
- "String cannot contain newlines"
