Most of the messy things when changing a non-current buffer is
not about the buffer, it is about windows. In particular, it is about
`curwin`.
When editing a non-current buffer which is displayed in some other
window in the current tabpage, one such window will be "borrowed" as the
curwin. But this means if two or more non-current windows displayed the buffers,
one of them will be treated differenty. this is not desirable.
In particular, with nvim_buf_set_text, cursor _column_ position was only
corrected for one single window. Two new tests are added: the test
with just one non-current window passes, but the one with two didn't.
Two corresponding such tests were also added for nvim_buf_set_lines.
This already worked correctly on master, but make sure this is
well-tested for future refactors.
Also, nvim_create_buf no longer invokes autocmds just because you happened
to use `scratch=true`. No option value was changed, therefore OptionSet
must not be fired.
ml_get_buf() takes a third parameters to indicate whether the
caller wants to mutate the memline data in place. However
the vast majority of the call sites is using this function
just to specify a buffer but without any mutation. This makes
it harder to grep for the places which actually perform mutation.
Solution: Remove the bool param from ml_get_buf(). it now works
like ml_get() except for a non-current buffer. Add a new
ml_get_buf_mut() function for the mutating use-case, which can
be grepped along with the other ml_replace() etc functions which
can modify the memline.
* perf(rtp): reduce rtp scans
Problem:
Scanning the filesystem is expensive and particularly affects
startuptime.
Solution:
Reduce the amount of redundant directory scans by relying less on glob
patterns and handle vim and lua sourcing lower down.
Removes the `getoption_T` struct and also introduces the `OptVal` struct
to unify the methods of getting/setting different option value types.
This is the first of many PRs to reduce code duplication in the Vim
option code as well as to make options easier to maintain. It also
increases the flexibility and extensibility of options. Which opens the
door for things like Array and Dictionary options.
Problem: *local-additions* in `help.txt` are inserted via `ml_append`,
which messes up treesitter highlighting of this file as the buffer
becomes desynced from the tree.
Solution: Add hack on top of hack by explicitly calling `mark_adjust`
and `changed_lines_buf` after each insertion.
Problem:
The "force" flag of win_close() complicates the code and adds edge cases
where it is not clear what the correct behavior should be.
The "free_buf" flag of win_close() is passed on to float windows when
closing the last window of a tabpage, which doesn't make much sense.
Solution:
Remove the "force" flag and always close float windows as if :close! is
used when closing the last window of a tabpage, and set the "free_buf"
flag for a float window based on whether its buffer can be freed.
As 'hidden' is on by default, this change shouldn't affect many people.
Problem: Help tag generation picks up words in code examples.
Solution: Skip over examples. (Carlo Teubner, closesvim/vim#10813)

Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
Problem: The option.c file is too big.
Solution: Split off the code dealing with strings. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
