fix(tui): emit ui_send output atomically with the frame
Problem:
tui_ui_send() writes directly to the TTY, bypassing the output buffer.
Sequences sent via nvim_ui_send() (e.g. kitty multiple-cursors, or
visual-dot-repeat) always arrive in a separate TTY write from the frame
they were computed for. This manifests as "tearing", or e.g. in the case
of multicursor the terminal renders text with stale cursor overlays.
Solution:
- tui_ui_send(): while a frame is being assembled (pending invalid
regions or buffered output), buffer instead of writing directly.
- Out-of-frame sends (tty queries, clear-on-disable) still write
immediately.
- mcursor.lua: emit the terminal-cursor update at the end of the redraw
cycle (`on_end`, when screen positions are final) instead of
vim.schedule().
Problem:
- ~200 line function of hard-to-maintain C code.
- Local Addition section looks messy because of the varying description
formats.
Solution:
- Move code to Lua.
- Have a best-effort approach where short descriptions are right
aligned, giving a cleaner look. Long descriptions are untouched.
Problem:
"make lintdoc" is not validating vimdoc (:help) tags.
Solution:
- Call `lang_tree:parse()` to init the parser.
- Load netrw 🤢 explicitly, since it was moved to `pack/dist/opt/`.
- Fix invalid help tags.
`vim.health` is not a "plugin" but part of our Lua API and the
documentation should reflect that. This also helps make the
documentation maintenance easier as it is now generated.
Problem: Wiki contents are not discoverable and hard to maintain.
Solution: Move FAQ to runtime docs.

Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
Add introductory guide explaining how to use Lua in Neovim:
where to put Lua files, how to set variables and options, how
to create mappings, autocommands, and user commands.

Problem: The eval.txt help file is way too big.
Solution: Move the builtin function details to a separate file.

Note: Neovim-specific references to |functions| were changed to
|builtin-functions|. This included updates to:
1. test/functional/vimscript/functions_spec.lua
2. test/functional/vimscript/eval_spec.lua
3. runtime/doc/lua.txt
Problem: The eval.txt help file is too big.
Solution: Split off testing support to testing.txt. Move function details
to where the functionality is explained.

Vim commit 5477506a9f01d40fad2e8f0555bc37adee30478f
contains the duplicate tag fix in runtime/doc/testing.txt.
- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
