* refactor: format all C files under nvim
* refactor: disable formatting for Vim-owned files:
* src/nvim/indent_c.c
* src/nvim/regexp.c
* src/nvim/regexp_nfa.c
* src/nvim/testdir/samples/memfile_test.c
Before now, Nvim always degrades UI capabilities to the lowest-common
denominator. For example, if any connected UI has `ext_messages=false`
then `ext_messages=true` requested by any other connected UI is ignored.
Now `nvim_ui_attach()` supports `override=true`, which flips the
behavior: if any UI requests an `ext_*` UI capability then the
capability is enabled (and the legacy behavior is disabled).
Legacy UIs will be broken while a `override=true` UI is connected, but
it's useful for debugging: you can type into the TUI and observe the UI
events from another connected (UI) client. And the legacy UI will
"recover" after the `override=true` UI disconnects.
Example using pynvim:
>>> n.ui_attach(2048, 2048, rgb=True, override=True, ext_multigrid=True, ext_messages=True, ext_popupmenu=True)
>>> while True: n.next_message();
Initially we will use this for the popupmenu, floating windows will
follow soon
NB: writedelay + compositor is weird, we need more flexible
redraw introspection.
Previously, when neovim would wrap a line across multiple lines,
terminal emulators could not detect that the lines represent a single
wrapped line as opposed to several separate lines. As a result, many
terminals' selection/copying functionality would treat a wrapped line as
several newline-delimited lines.
Fix this by reenabling a "special trick" from Vim. When a line is
wrapped, write the last character of that line followed by the first
character of the next line to the terminal. This hints to the terminal
that the next line is a continuation of the current line.
Extends the raw_line event with a "wrap" parameter which controls when
to do wrap hinting.
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.
Make HlAttr contain highlighting state for both color modes (cterm and rgb).
This allows us to implement termguicolors completely in the TUI.
Simplify some logic duplicated between ui.c and screen.c. Also avoid
some superfluous highlighting reset events.
With this implementation there is no "jank" during startup.
Using the main_loop in any fashion is janky. Using only the TUI loop
emits the termcodes too soon, or requires bad hacks like counting
tui_flush invocations (9 seems to work).

...in order to retrieve highlights.
Added test/functional/api/highlight_spec.lua
HL_NORMAL is not really a good name, since it's more like an empty attribute than the normal's one.
If one pays attention, syn_cterm_attr2entry is never called with attr=0 because it's always special cased before.
I suggest in subsequent PRs we remove the ATTR_OFF and just insert an EMPTY ATTR/RESET_ATTR/UNINITIALIZED for id 0.
Currently, there are two functions in the UI API that are called when
the mode changes: insert_mode() and normal_mode(). These can be folded
into a single mode_change() entrypoint which can do whatever it wants
based on the mode it is passed, limited to INSERT and NORMAL for now.
Switching cursor off is only necessary in two occasions:
- When redrawing to avoid terminal flickering
- When the editor is busy
The first can now be handled by the TUI, so most calls to ui_cursor_off can be
removed from the core.
So, before this commit it was only necessary to switch the cursor off to notify
the user that nvim was running some long operation. Now the cursor_{on,off}
functions have been replaced by busy_{stop,start} which can be handled in a
UI-specific way(turning the cursor off or showing a busy indicator, for
example).
To make things even more simpler, nvim is always busy except when waiting for
user input or other asynchronous events: It automatically switches to a non-busy
state when the event loop is about to be entered for more than 100 milliseconds.
`ui_busy_start` can be called when its not desired to change the busy state in
the event loop (As its now done by functions that perform blocking shell
invocations).
This is how Nvim behaves when the "abstract_ui" termcap is activated:
- No data is written/read to stdout/stdin by default.
- Instead of sending data to stdout, ui_write will parse the termcap codes
and invoke dispatch functions in the ui.c module.
- The dispatch functions will forward the calls to all attached UI
instances(each UI instance is an implementation of the UI layer and is
registered with ui_attach).
- Like with the "builtin_gui" termcap, "abstract_ui" does not contain any key
sequences. Instead, vim key strings(<cr>, <esc>, etc) are parsed directly by
input_enqueue and the translated strings are pushed to the input buffer.
With this new input model, its not possible to send mouse events yet. Thats
because mouse sequence parsing happens in term.c/check_termcodes which must
return early when "abstract_ui" is activated.
