This is a follow-on to #17040. The real benefit of #17040 was ensuring
that the ftplugin FileType autocommand was defined first and thus always
fired first. A side effect of the implementation in #17040 was that
setting variables that modified the state of filetype detection (such as
g:did_load_filetypes or g:do_filetype_lua) could no longer be set in the
user's init file. Filetype detection can also no longer be prevented
from loading by using `:filetype off`.
This PR addresses both of those side effects by unconditionally sourcing
ftplugin.vim and indent.vim before the user's init file (which ensures
that these autocommands run first) and sourcing filetype.vim *after* the
user's init file (thus allowing it to be blocked or modified).
Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
vim/vim#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.

Now remove the addition of "start/*" packages in 'packpath' as
explicit items in 'runtimepath'. This avoids 'runtimepath' from becoming
very long when using a lot of plugins as packages.
To get the effective search path as a list, use |nvim_list_runtime_paths()|
Add a new default autocommand to limit syntax highlighting
synchronization in the command window. This refactors the nvim_terminal
autocommand out of main() and into a new init_default_autocmds()
function, which is now part of the startup process and can be further
extended with more default autocommands down the road.

syn_name2id and syn_check_group go brr.
Note: this has impact mostly when using multiple filetypes,
as the old syn_name2id was optimized to return latest
added groups quickly (which will be the latest filetype)
Remove syncolor.vim in favor of defining the default highlight groups
directly in `init_highlight`. This approach provides a number of
advantages:
1. The highlights are always defined, regardless of whether or not the
syntax regex engine is enabled.
2. Redundant sourcing of syntax files is eliminated (syncolor.vim was
often sourced multiple times based on how the user's colorscheme file
was written).
3. The syntax highlighting regex engine and the highlight groups
themselves are more fully decoupled.
4. Removal of the confusing `:syntax on` / `:syntax enable` dichotomy
(they now both do the same thing).
This approach also correctly solves a number of bugs related to
highlighting (#15176, #12573, #15205).
This fixes an issue introduced in #14771 (fix: source syncolors.vim
before startup scripts) that affected highlights for users who set
'background' to light in their startup script. Because syncolor.vim
checks for the value of &background, it was always setting up the 'dark'
background colors, which looked wrong for users using light backgrounds.
The primary benefit of #14771 is that it decoupled highlighting from the
syntax engine. This is useful for e.g. treesitter, which still makes use
of highlights even if the syntax engine is disabled. For this reason, it
is still worthwhile to source syncolor.vim separately from synload.vim,
which #14771 accomplishes. However, we should still source syncolor.vim
after the user startup scripts, to ensure that we are respecting the
options the user sets.
Another corollary benefit is that this reduces some redundancy in
highlight definitions, since we now only source syncolors.vim if the
user did not already enable a colorscheme.
lua is used as part of implementation for more core features. As an
example, every user keypress will invoke a lua function to check for
keypress handlers (regardless if they are registered or not). Thus not
starting lua until it is first used doesn't make much sense anymore.
nlua_enter was also needed due to the earlier stateful &rtp
translation, which by now have been made stateless.
This fixes an issue (#12573) where colorscheme files are sourced twice
upon startup. This occurs when the startup script calls `:colorscheme`,
which sets the `g:colors_name` global variable. When syntax highlighting
is enabled in `syn_maybe_enable()` the `syntax.vim` script is sourced
which in turn sources `synload.vim`. This script checks to see if
`g:colors_name` is set and, if so, runs
exe "colors " . colors_name
This is done to ensure that highlight groups are defined before enabling
the syntax highlighting engine.
Instead, source syncolors.vim before the startup scripts which sets up
default highlights and only load the full syntax engine after
the startup scripts or when the user runs `:syntax on`. Add a guard
variable `did_syncolor` to prevent syncolor.vim from being sourced
twice and remove the line mentioned above from synload.vim so that
the colorscheme file is not re-sourced when the syntax engine is loaded.
"syntax on" overwrites existing highlight groups, while "syntax enable"
just sets missing groups. This change prevents user defined highlights in
init.vim/lua to get overwritten. The manual recommends "syntax enable" for
new configurations anyway, "on" command was probably used as it is the
implicit default.
Problem: Mode is not cleared when leaving Insert mode with mapped Esc.
Solution: Clear the mode when redraw_cmdline is set. (closesvim/vim#4269)
