Nvim note: intentionally did not include `--ttyfail` since its purpose
is not clear. (And it isn't used in any Vim test files/scripts).
---
Problem: When the input or output is not a tty Vim appears to hang.
Solution: Add the --ttyfail argument. Also add the "ttyin" and "ttyout"
features to be able to check in Vim script.

- Remove obsolete tags and ancient TTY exposition.
- Establish "terminal" to consistently mean "terminal emulator" in all
Nvim documentation. This removes the need for verbose qualifiers in

Disable CommandLineToArgvW-standard quoting for cmd.exe.
libuv assumes spawned processes follow the convention expected by
CommandLineToArgvW(). But cmd.exe is non-conformant, so for cmd.exe:
- With system([]), the caller has full control (and responsibility) to
quote arguments correctly.
- With system(''), shell* options are used.
libuv quoting is disabled if argv[0] is:
- cmd.exe
- cmd
- $COMSPEC resolving to a path with filename cmd.exe

Contains the exit value nvim will use.
Before exiting, it is v:null. That way jobs or autocmds (in VimLeavePre or
VimLeave) can check if Neovim is about to quit and with what exit value.
Closes#4666.
In order to not conflict with new error codes that Vim adds, all Neovim
error codes should be above 5000. The three existing sub-5000 error
codes (E926, E951, and E952) are now E50003, E5004, and E5005
respectively.
E953 was removed in 6167ce6df2, so just
remove it from the help.

In Vim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
works because for both system() and :! Vim writes input to a temp file and uses
shell syntax to redirect the file to the backgrounded `cat` (get_cmd_output()
.. make_filter_cmd()).
In Nvim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
fails because we write the input directly via pipes (shell.c:do_os_system()),
but (per POSIX[1]) backgrounded process input stream is redirected from
/dev/null (unless overridden by shell redirection; supported only by some shells
[2]), so our writes are ignored, the process exits quickly, and if we are
writing data larger than the buffer size we'll see EPIPE.
This still works:
:%w !tee > foo1358.txt &
but this does not:
:%w !tee foo1358.txt &
though it *should* (why doesn't it?) because we still do the temp file dance
in do_bang() .. do_filter().

Missing files in runtime/doc: todo.txt, tags. Patch to runtime/doc/syntax.txt
was applied manually in part, for no discernible reason.
test_cursor_func.vim hangs at the call to
disable_char_avail_for_testing(). The test does not actually need this
function (and it correctly fails if the fix from 7.4.1300 is reverted).
Given that disable_char_avail_for_testing is a gigantic hack, if we can
avoid it let's do so.
New ex commands: 'tcd', 'tchdir'
Changed Vimscript functions: 'haslocaldir', 'getcwd'
The ex-commands ':tcd' and ':tchdir' are the tab-local equivalents of
':lcd' and ':lchdir'. There are no new Vimscript functions introduced,
instead the functions 'haslocaldir' and 'getcwd' take in optional
arguments. See the documentation for details
Since there is now different levels of local directory a simple boolean
at source level is no longer sufficient; a new enumeration type is used
for the scope-level from now on.
The documentation has been accommodated for these new commands and
functional tests have been written to test the feature.
Problem: Vim can create a directory but not delete it.
Solution: Add an argument to delete() to make it possible to delete a
directory, also recursively.

Also removes a note regarding the performance of `empty(long_list)` vs
`len(long_list) == 0` because this has nothing to do with the actual state:
first checks that list is not NULL and pointer to its first element is also not
NULL, second gets length by comparing list with NULL and falls back to
`tv->vval.v_list->lv_len` if not. `len(long_list)` *may* still be *slightly*
slower, but the slow down has nothing to do with the length of the list, is
hardly noticeable and depends on how good compiler is at inlining and what
exactly have author of the plugin written (I mean `len(long_list) == 0` vs
`empty(long_list)` vs `!len(long_list)`).
Problem: searchpos() always starts searching in the first column, which is
not what some people expect. (Brett Stahlman)
Solution: Add the 'z' flag: start at the specified column.

Add the new functions to the function overview.
Rename the functions to match Vim function style.
Move undolevels testing into a new style test script.

Problem: Writing tests for Vim script is hard.

This removes all instances of '{not in Vi}', '{Vi: ... }', etc.
We don't care about Vi compatibility, so all of these annotations are

Old behaviour: termopen('cmd') would run `&shell &shcf "cmd"`, which
caused the functional tests to fail on some systems due to the process
not "owning" the terminal. Also, it is inconsistent with jobstart().
Modify termopen() so that &shell is not invoked, but maintain the old
behaviour with :terminal. Factor the common code for building the
argument vector from jobstart() and modify the functional tests to call
termopen() instead of :terminal (fixes#2354).
Also:
* Add a 'name' option for termopen() so that `:terminal {cmd}` produces
a buffer named "term//{cwd}/{cmd}" and termopen() users can customize
the name.
* Update the documentation.
* Add functional tests for `:terminal` sinse its behaviour now differs
from termopen(). Add "test/functional/fixtures/shell-test.c" and move
"test/functional/job/tty-test.c" there, too.

- Remove JobActivity autocmd and v:job_data variable
- Simplify `jobstart` to receive:
- An argument vector
- An optional dictionary which may contain any of the current `jobstart`

This removes the ability to start nvim via the following aliases in
favor of just using their command line arguments:
ex vim -e
exim vim -E
view vim -R
gvim vim -g
gex vim -eg
gview vim -Rg
rvim vim -Z
rview vim -RZ
rgvim vim -gZ
rgview vim -RgZ
This also removes Vi mode (-v) for consistency. From ':help -v':
-v Start Ex in Vi mode. Only makes a difference when the
executable is called "ex" or "gvim". For gvim the GUI is not
started if possible.
If you Google for this phrase found in the Vim documentation you'll find
almost exclusively hits from the Vim documentation. I think changing
"halfway a line" to "halfway through a line" makes more sense.
There seems to be an pervasive odd use of the word 'halfway' in the
original docs which I'm updating everywhere.
- Remove note about how {channel} is rpcstop's only argument; just
mention {channel} at the beginning like the other descriptions.
- Small grammar fixes
Notes regarding the removal of specific items:
- Aztec C: only on the Amiga.
- mch_check_win(): doesn't exist anymore.
- Comment in ex_cmds.c: It seems the context for this comment was
removed, but the comment was inadvertantly left alone.
