The neovim module is available for backwards compatibility. We should
not yet force the use of the pynvim module, since there's no other major
reason to bump the minimum supported Python client module.
Closes#9426
Besides the "visible" improvements, this release features numerous
internal improvements to the UI/screen code and test infrastructure.

The purpose of the {Nvim} hint was not well-defined, and its usage
inconsistent. It's also unnecessary.

We already set back_color_erase in our builtin terminfo
(terminfo_defs.h:conemu_terminfo), so we don't need to set it explicitly
in patch_terminfo_bugs().
Problem: An "after" directory of a package is appended to 'rtp', which
will be after the user's "after" directory. ()
Solution: Insert the package "after" directory before any other "after"
directory in 'rtp'. (closesvim/vim#3409)
99396d4cbf
Problem: Package directory not added to 'rtp' if prefix matches.
Solution: Check the match is a full match. (Ozaki Kiichi, closesvim/vim#2817)
Also handle different ways of spelling a path.
f98a39ca57
Problem: When package path is a symlink adding it to 'runtimepath' happens
at the end.
Solution: Do not resolve symlinks before locating the position in
'runtimepath'. (Ozaki Kiichi, closesvim/vim#2604)

Works in iTerm2 and xterm.
- patch_terminfo_bugs(): Add title-stacking sequences (\e[22t and
\e[23t) to the overrides for iTerm2 and xterm.
- Note: the builtins (terminfo_defs.h) for `iterm_256colour_terminfo`
and `xterm_256colour_terminfo` already include the sequences.
Test case (title should be "foo" after the final :q):
TERM=iterm2 nvim -u NONE +'set title titleold=foo'
:q
TERM=iterm2 nvim -u NONE +'set title titlestring=zub'
:q
closes#4063
Use uv_set_vterm_state() to override libuv's guess.
See https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/1873/ for discussion.
This commit uses a terminal-detection approach based on
GetProcessImageFileNameW(...), which will be reverted in the following
commit. The approach was intended to handle the case of running in
winpty (:terminal), but we will add $NVIM env var for that.
Also add some support for ConEmu, cygwin.
Problem: Python cannot handle function name of script-local function.
Solution: Use <SNR> instead of the special byte code. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
vim/vim#3681)
