Problem: The legacy signlist data structures and associated functions are redundant since the introduction of extmark signs. Solution: Store signs defined through the legacy commands in a hashmap, placed signs in the extmark tree. Replace signlist associated functions. Usage of the legacy sign commands should yield no change in behavior with the exception of: - "orphaned signs" are now always removed when the line it is placed on is deleted. This used to depend on the value of 'signcolumn'. - It is no longer possible to place multiple signs with the same identifier in a single group on multiple lines. This will now move the sign instead. Moreover, both signs placed through the legacy sign commands and through |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|: - Will show up in both |sign-place| and |nvim_buf_get_extmarks()|. - Are displayed by increasing sign identifier, left to right. Extmark signs used to be ordered decreasingly as opposed to legacy signs.
