Problem:
Validation messages are not consistently formatted.
- Parameter names sometimes are NOT quoted.
- Descriptive names (non-parameters) sometimes ARE quoted.
Solution:
Always quote the `name` value passed to a VALIDATE macro _unless_ the
value has whitespace.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
The original motivation for this change came from developping
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22159, which will require adding
more autocommand creation to Neovim's startup sequence.
This change requires lightly editing a test that expected no autocommand
to have been created from lua.
* feat(api): `group` can be either string or int
This affects the following API functions:
- `vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd`
- `vim.api.nvim_get_autocmds`
- `vim.api.nvim_do_autocmd`

* refactor: add two maps for fast lookups
* fix: delete augroup info from id->name map
When in "stupid_legacy_mode", the value in name->id map would be updated
to `AUGROUP_DELETED`, but the entry would still remain in id->name. This
would create a problem in `augroup_name` function which would return the
name of the augroup instead of `--DELETED--`.
The id->name map is only used for fast loopup in `augroup_name` function
so there's no point in keeping the entry of deleted augroup in it.

This enables retrieving autocommands defined in the given buffers. Under
the hood this simply translates the buffer numbers into '<buffer=%d>'
patterns.
