Why?
- Because we can.
- Because the TUI is just another GUI™
- Because it looks kinda nice, and provides useful context like 1 out of 100
times
Complies with "don't pay for what you don't use".
Some crashes for resizing were unfolded, add tests for those.
Previously the mouse tests set 'listchars', but not 'list'. Funnily enough, the
space, where the `$` would normally appear, would still use new highlight group.
Set 'list' for good and fix the tests accordingly.
In vim, scrolling a window might mess up the cmdline. To keep it simple,
cmdline was always cleared for any window scroll. In nvim, where safe scrolling
is implemented in the TUI layer, this problem doesn't exist.
Clearing the message on scrolling, when we not do it e.g when switching tabs
is a bit weird, as the former is a much smaller context change.
A vim patch introduced the possibility to avoid the cmdlline clear for
redraws caused by async events. This case will now trivially be covered,
as the redraw is always avoided.
vim-patch:8.0.0592: if a job writes to a buffer screen is not updated
Problem: When 'rnu' is set folded lines are not displayed correctly.
(Vitaly Yashin)
Solution: When only redrawing line numbers do draw folded lines.

Explanation:
Before this patch, relative line numbers would update on a cursor
movement and overwrite fold highlighting in the line number columns.
Other operations can cause the fold highlighting to overwrite the line
number styles. Together, this causes the highlighting in the line number
columns to flicker back and forth while editing.
Test case: create `t.vim` with these contents:
set fdm=marker rnu foldcolumn=2
call setline(1, ["{{{1", "nline 1", "{{{1", "line 2"])
and then call `nvim -u NORC -S t.vim` and press `j`; observe that the fold
highlighting disappears.
Decide whether to highlight the visual-selected character under the
cursor, depending on 'guicursor' style:
- Highlight if cursor is blinking or non-block (vertical, horiz).
- Do NOT highlight if cursor is non-blinking block.
Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which perhaps
conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But 'guicursor' defaults
to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and this confuses users who
expect to see the text highlighted.

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

By historical accident, Nvim defaults to background=light. So on a dark
background, `:colorscheme default` looks completely wrong.
The "smart" logic that Vim uses is confusing for anyone who uses Vim on
multiple platforms, so rather than mimic that, pick the (hopefully) most
common default.
- Since Neovim is dark-powered, we assume most users have dark backgrounds.
- Most of the GUIs tend to have a dark background by default.
