As discussed in #694, vim encryption uses old,
obsolete algorithms that are poorly implemented.
Since insecure cryptography is worse than no
cryptgraphy, the community voted in favor of
removing all crypto.
Various alternatives to the old crypto is
being discussed in #701.
Closes#694.
- Replace a vim_strsave/free pair with xrealloc
- Use xmallocz() in some places
- Use xrealloc() and forget about the NULL pointer case
- Remove invalid comment
- Remove unnecessary checks
- Replace a complicated xmalloc/STRCPY/free code chunk code with xrealloc()
- Replace a vim_strsave/free code chunk with xrealloc()

Problem: Now that nvim/strings.h is correctly namespaced, an issue
that had been masked until now arises:
When compiling, we get a lot of errors because of everywhere
the functions in nvim/strings.h are used, there's no include
to import them.
But, how could this compile and work previously, then? It
turns out that:
- In every such case, we are also including vim.h, which in
turn includes os_unix_defs.h.
- os_unix_defs.h includes <string.h> and also <strings.h> in
some systems (e.g. OSX).
- Build had been modified previously to (even when importing
system headers), prefer equally-named local ones. That was
in fact done as a previous attempt to solve the same issue
we are trying to solve another way now.
So, we were including our "strings.h" as a side-effect of
including <strings.h> through "vim.h" --> "os_unix_defs.h".
Solution: Correctly include "nvim/strings.h" in every file needing it.
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/.
- src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources.
- src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
