Problem: close_buffer() callers incorrectly handle b_nwindows,
especially after nasty autocmds, allowing it to go
out-of-sync. May lead to buffers that can't be unloaded, or
buffers that are prematurely freed whilst displayed.
Solution: Modify close_buffer() and review its callers; let them
decrement b_nwindows if it didn't unload the buffer. Remove
some now unneeded workarounds like 8.2.2354, 9.1.0143,
9.1.0764, which didn't always work (Sean Dewar)

b_nwindows = 0 change for free_all_mem() was already ported.
Originally Nvim returned true when b_nwindows was decremented before the end was
reached (to better indicate the decrement). That's not needed anymore, so just
return true only at the end, like Vim. (retval isn't used anywhere now anyways)
Set textlock for dict watchers at the end of close_buffer() to prevent them from
switching windows, as that can leave a window with a NULL buffer. (possible
before this PR, but the new assert catches it; added a test)
Despite textlock, things still aren't ideal, as watchers may observe the buffer
as unloaded and hidden (b_nwindows was decremented), yet still in a window...
Likewise, for Nvim, wipe_qf_buffer()'s comment may not be entirely accurate;
autocmds are blocked, but on_detach callbacks (textlocked) and dict watchers may
still run. Might be problematic, but those aren't new issues.

Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
