Problem:
Validation messages are not consistently formatted.
- Parameter names sometimes are NOT quoted.
- Descriptive names (non-parameters) sometimes ARE quoted.
Solution:
Always quote the `name` value passed to a VALIDATE macro _unless_ the
value has whitespace.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
Problem: Some source files are too big.
Solution: Move buffer and window related functions to evalbuffer.c and
evalwindow.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4898)

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: Cannot assign a lambda to an option that takes a function.
Solution: Automatically convert the lambda to a string. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#9286)

Problem: Vim9: bool option type is number.
Solution: Have get_option_value() return a different value for bool and
number options. (closesvim/vim#7583)

global-local window options need to be handled specially. When `win` is
given but `scope` is not, then we want to set the local version of the
option but not the global one, therefore we need to force
`scope='local'`.
Note this does not apply to window-local only options (e.g. 'number')
Example:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {}) -- global-local window option; set global value
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0}) -- global-local window option; set local value
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {}) -- local window option
is now equivalent to:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {})
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0, scope='local'}) -- changed from before
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {win=0}) -- unchanged from before
Only the global-local option with a `win` provided gets forced to local
scope.
The main motivation for this is for the buf and win cases which need to
set up and restore context, and it's what specifically makes the
semantics of options nuanced, and thus this should not be repeated more
than once.
- nvim_get/set_option_value now share argument validation.
