feat(defaults): limit syntax cost on CmdwinEnter #15401

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.
