Problem: Unable to customize the column next to a window ('gutter').
Solution: Add 'statuscolumn' option that follows the 'statusline' syntax,
allowing to customize the status column. Also supporting the %@
click execute function label. Adds new items @C and @s which
will print the fold and sign columns. Line numbers and signs
can be clicked, highlighted, aligned, transformed, margined etc.
Problem: Code is indented more than necessary.
Solution: Use an early return where it makes sense. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,

Problem:
When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script
and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't
have a strong use-case, and has these problems:
- prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way.
- complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan)
Solution:
Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
- The defined interface for the UI is only the RPC protocol. The original
UI interface as an array of function pointers fill no function.
- On the server, all the UI:s are all RPC channels.
- ui.c is only used on the server.
- The compositor is a preprocessing step for single-grid UI:s
- on the client, ui_client and tui talk directly to each other
- we still do module separation, as ui_client.c could form the basis
of a libnvim client module later.
Items for later PR:s
- vim.ui_attach is still an unhappy child, reconsider based on plugin experience.
- the flags in ui_events.in.h are still a mess. Can be simplified now.
- UX for remote attachment needs more work.
- startup for client can be simplified further (think of the millisecs we can save)
Problem: When unibi_format() modifies params and data->buf overflows,
unibi_format() is called again, causing the params to be
modified twice. This can happen for escapes sequences that
use the %i terminfo format specifier (e.g. cursor_address),
which makes unibi_format() increase the param by 1.
Solution: Make a copy of data->params before calling unibi_format().
This is intentionally _not_ copied from Vim because our syntax file
makes use of Lua to dynamically generate a list of valid EditorConfig
properties. This requires the builtin editorconfig module, which Vim
does not have.
Problem: Code is indented more than needed.
Solution: Use an early return to reduce indentation. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,

Problem: With a long running Vim the temp directory might be cleared on
some systems.
Solution: Lock the temp directory. (closesvim/vim#6044)

This was previously disabled due to build issues on windows.
Any reasonable platform can now be expected to have the necessary
interfaces to build and run the TUI subsystem.
Runtime quality issues of using the TUI (on any new platform) are not
relevant here. Just run Nvim in an external UI instead of the TUI as always.
