When `root_dir` is a function it can (and often will) call the provided
callback function in a fast API context (e.g. in the `on_exit` handler
of `vim.system`). When the callback function is executed we should
ensure that it runs vim.lsp.start on the main event loop.
On master (and also before #31539) closing a window could cause the
used wininfo for a buffer to change. This is due to always removing the
previous NULL wininfo when deleting a window, even if that wininfo had
higher priority than the the deleted window's own wininfo.
Instead delete the wininfo with lowest priority. This retains the memory
saving efect while not affecting the effective value of window options
and so on.
Problem: Anchoring a floating window to the tabline and laststatus is
cumbersome; requiring autocommands and looping over all
windows/tabpages.
Solution: Add new "tabline" and "laststatus" options to the `relative`
field of nvim_open_win() to place a window relative to.
Problem:
The floating window for hover and signature help always cuts off a few lines,
because the `_make_floating_popup_size` function counts empty lines as having
zero height.
Solution:
Ensure the height is at least 1.
Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
The code represents a useful pattern in normal mode where remapping
`<tab>` will implicitly also remap `<c-i>` unless you remap that
explicitly. This relies on the _unmapped_ behavior being identical which
is not true in terminal mode, as vterm can distinguish these keys.
Vim seems to entangle this with kitty keyboard mode detection which
is irrelevant for us. Conditional fallbacks depending on
keyboard mode could be done completely inside `vterm/` without getchar.c
getting involved, I would think.
Problem: Popup menu internal error with some abbr in completion item.
Solution: Don't compute attributes when there is no corresponding text.
Reduce indent in pum_redraw() while at it (zeertzjq).

**Problem:** `vim.treesitter.get_parser()` and `vim.treesitter.start()`
both parse the tree before returning it. This is problematic because if
this is a sync parse, it will stall the editor on large files. If it is
an async parse, the functions return stale trees.
**Solution:** Remove this parsing side effect and leave it to the user
to parse the returned trees, either synchronously or asynchronously.
**Problem:** Parsing can be slow for large files, and it is a blocking
operation which can be disruptive and annoying.
**Solution:** Provide a function for asynchronous parsing, which accepts
a callback to be run after parsing completes.

**Problem:** Query parsing uses a weak cache which is invalidated
frequently
**Solution:** Make the cache strong, and invalidate it manually when
necessary (that is, when `rtp` is changed or `query.set()` is called)

Problem: filetype: various ignore are not recognized
Solution: detect rg/docker/npm/vvsce ignore files as 'gitgnore' filetype

Not only prettier, but many programs also support ignore files (like rg,
docker, npm, vscode). So use the gitignore filetype for them due to same syntax

Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: tests: ruby tests fail with Ruby 3.4
Solution: adjust expected output for Ruby 3.4
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Vim's Ruby tests relied on explicit matching of output texts which are
fragile in design. Ruby 3.4 has changed the output slightly (using
'name' instead of `name', and also using more spaces in dictionary
printouts). Modify the Vim tests to be less fragile to such changes.

Problem: leaking finished exception
(after v9.1.0984)
Solution: use finish_exception to clean up caught exceptions
(Yee Cheng Chin)
In Vimscript, v:exception/throwpoint/stacktrace are supposed to reflect
the currently caught exception, and be popped after the exception is
finished (via endtry, finally, or a thrown exception inside catch).
Vim9script does not handle this properly, and leaks them instead. This
is clearly visible when launching GVim with menu enabled. A caught
exception inside the s:BMShow() in menu.vim would show up when querying
`v:stacktrace` even though the exception was already caught and handled.
To fix this, just use the same functionality as Vimscript by calling
`finish_exception` to properly restore the states. Note that this
assumes `current_exception` is always the same as `caught_stack` which
believe should be the case.
Added tests for this. Also fix up test_stacktrace to properly test the
stack restore behavior where we have nested exceptions in catch blocks
and to also test the vim9script functionality properly.
- Also, remove its dependency on explicitly checking a line number in
runtest.vim which is a very fragile way to write tests as any minor
change in runtest.vim (shared among all tests) would require changing
test_stacktrace.vim. We don't actually need such granularity in the
test.

Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
If a "on_lines" callback changes the structure of the marktree, the
iterator (which is used for an entire window viewport) might now
point to invalid memory. Restore the iterator to the beginning of the
line in this case.

**Problem:** The treesitter `foldexpr` calls `get_parser()` for each
line in the buffer when calculating folds. This can be incredibly slow
for buffers where a parser cannot be found (because the result is not
cached), and exponentially more so when the user has many
`runtimepath`s.
**Solution:** Only fetch the parser when it is needed; that is, only
when initializing fold data for a buffer.
