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: Cursorline not removed when using 'cursorbind'. (Justin Keyes)
Solution: Store the last cursor line per window. (closesvim/vim#3488)

NB: existing `color default` test was actually enough to trigger the bug,
when ext_newgrid=false is used. I created the `:hi Normal` test as
I thought the builtin colors wouldn't set Normal (unless 'bg' is changed)
But as the root cause actually comes from `:hi Normal`, it makes sense
to still add the separate test (if `color default` here gets optimized to
become a no-op, or something).
Give embeders a chance to set up nvim, by processing a request before
startup. This allows an external UI to show messages and prompts from
--cmd and buffer loading (e.g. swap files)
Problem: Incorrect adjusting the popup menu for the preview window.
Solution: Compute position and height properl. (Ronan Pigott) Also show at
least ten items. (closesvim/vim#3414)
The following (run as a script) used to cause a crash due to :sign using a
special redraw (not updating nvim's specific highlight data structures)
without proper redraw first, as split just flags for redraw later.
set cursorline
sign define piet text=>> texthl=Search
split
sign place 3 line=2 name=piet buffer=1
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.

Regression by 0d7daaad98.
- Fix length comparison.
- Fix loop(s) which iterated over all fields of array `pcc` even if it
was not filled up (try unicode 0x9f as statusline character).
Note about the tests:
- To input unicode with more than two hex digits you can use <C-v>U...:
a + U+fe20: a︠
a + U+fe20 + U+fe21: a︠︡
closes#7383closes#7715
This implements the compromise described in #7383:
* low-priority CursorLine if foreground is not set
* high-priority ("same as Vim" priority) CursorLine if foreground is set

Problem: For some people the hint about quitting is not sufficient.
Solution: Put <Enter> separately. Also use ":qa!" to get out even when
there are changes.

According to POSIX[0], only octal escapes are supported by the printf
command. GNU coreutils' printf and some shells' builtin printf versions
which support hex escapes, but dash and non-GNU printf do not.
