- Add vim variable meta accessors: vim.env, vim.{g,v,w,bo,wo}
- Redo gen_char_blob to generate multiple blobs instead of just one
so that multiple Lua modules can be inlined.
- Reorder vim.lua inclusion so that it can use previously defined C
functions and utility functions like vim.shared and vim.inspect things.
- Inline shared.lua into nvim, but also keep it available in runtime.
Mainly configuration and RPC infrastructure can be considered "done". Specific requests and their callbacks will be improved later (and also served by plugins). There are also some TODO:s for the client itself, like incremental updates.

compared to vim.api.|nvim_call_function|, this fixes some typing issues
due to the indirect conversion via the API. float values are preserved
as such (fixes#9389) as well as empty dicts/arrays.

Forcing insert-mode after the first paste-chunk seems to work, as an
alternative to a9e2bae0eb (insert-before-cursor).
NB: Dot-repeat needs to match the original action. Since a9e2bae0eb
changed paste to insert-before-cursor, dot-repeat must also. But that
makes dot-repeat unpleasant/unusual.
Inserting "after" the cursor in Normal-mode, for big paste-streams, is
not reliable: sometimes the text "after" the cursor ends up in the
middle of the pasted text. Maybe the cursor position is not updated?
To avoid weird behavior, always paste "before". Maybe nvim_put() or
vim.paste() can be fixed more properly later.
Problem: If multiple paste "chunks" are streamed, chunks after the
first line are pasted into the buffer.
Solution: Check for cmdline-mode for all chunks in a paste-stream.
- Workaround #10966: 'paste' option is not always reset.
- In any case there's not much reason to wait until phase=3, because
pasting in cmdline-mode skips lines after the first line (thus the
`:set paste .. :set nopaste` dance happens only ~once).
- All "chunks" in a paste-stream should form a single undo-block. Side
effect of 7a85792884 was to create an undo-block for each chunk.
- Also: remove old :redraw force logic, irrelevant after 7a85792884.
Otherwise cursor and redraw code for normal and insert mode will not run. The
"tickle" workaround was used for this instead, and can now be removed.
The builtin vim.lua got the name
[string "-- Nvim-Lua stdlib: thevimmodule (:help l..."]
in error messages. Fix it to something reasonable.
- Send `phase` parameter to the paste handler.
- Redraw at intervals and when paste terminates.
- Show "..." throbber during paste to indicate activity.
- Define in Lua so that it is compiled-in (available with `-u NONE`).
TODO: Eventually we will want a 'pastefunc' option or some other way to
override the default paste handler.
