UV_PROCESS_DETACHED compels libuv:uv__process_child_init() to call
setsid() in the child just after fork(). That ensures the process and
its descendants are grouped in a separate session (and process group).
The following jobstart() call correctly groups `sh` and `sleep` in a new
session (and process-group), where `sh` is the "session leader" (and
process-group leader):
:call jobstart(['sh','-c','sleep 60'])

------------------------------------------------------------------------
On my linux box before this patch, the termclose_spec.lua:'kills job
trapping SIGTERM' test indirectly causes cmake/busted to wait for 60s.
That's because the test spawns a `sleep 60` descendant process which
hangs around even after nvim exits: nvim killed the parent PID, but not
PGID (process-group), so the grandchild "reparented" to init (PID 1).
Session contains processes (and process-groups) which are logically part
of the same "login session". Process-group is a set of
logically/informally-related processes within a session; for example,
shells assign a process group to each "job". Session IDs and PGIDs both
have type pid_t (like PIDs).
These OS-level mechanisms are, as usual, legacy accidents whose purpose
is upheld by convention and folklore. We can use session-level grouping
(setsid), or we could use process-group-level grouping (setpgid).
Vim uses setsid() if available, otherwise setpgid(0,0).

UV_PROCESS_DETACHED on win32 sets CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag.
But uv_kill() does not kill the process-group:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3617
Ideas:
- Set UV_PROCESS_DETACHED (CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP), then call
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, pid)
- Maybe won't work because MSDN says "Only processes that share the
same console as the calling process receive the signal."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/generateconsolectrlevent
But CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP creates a new console ...

- Group processes within a "job". libuv does that *globally* for
non-detached processes: uv__init_global_job_handle.
- Iterate through CreateToolhelp32Snapshot().

- Vim does this, see terminate_all()

macOS travis builds recently started failing (travis caches were cleared
recently, maybe related). python2 is reasonably covered by linux CI. Not
going to waste time on it for macOS CI.

The MSVC_32 currently hangs. When MSVC becomes the primary Windows
target, we can enable MSVC_32 and retire one of the mingw builds. In
the meantime it adds too much time.
Infinite timeout results in hangs which waste time. If some test needs
longer than 10s to wait for a message, it should specify the timeout
explicitly.
This will allow users to use AppImageUpdate to update their AppImage.
It requires publishing the created zsync file alongside the appimage
file for the releases.
Problem: Getting name of cleared highlight group is wrong. (Matt Wozniski)
Solution: Only skip over cleared names for completion. (closesvim/vim#1592)
Also fix that a cleared group causes duplicate completions.
