utility functions and tests
Problem: Some source files are too big.
Solution: Move buffer and window related functions to evalbuffer.c and
evalwindow.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4898)

This function accepts a path to a file and prompts the user if the file
is trusted. If the user confirms that the file is trusted, the contents
of the file are returned. The user's decision is stored in a trust
database at $XDG_STATE_HOME/nvim/trust. When this function is invoked
with a path that is already marked as trusted in the trust database, the
user is not prompted for a response.
This will enable a larger amount of chunks being automatically included
due to fewer formatting differences between the vim and neovim files.
The strategy is straightforward, if a bit tedious:
- Get a list of all changed files.
- Checkout parent commit. Copy all relevant files to a temporary
location.
- Checkout patch commit. Copy all relevant files to a temporary
location.
- Format .c and .h files with uncrustify.
- Generate a diff from from these files.

Problem:
`gen_help_html.lua` does not properly handle tab characters after
"concealed" text (tags, taglinks, codespans). This causes misaligned
layout in "old" (preformatted) docs.
For text like `*tag*`, |tag_link|, and `code_span`, Vim hides the "*",
"|", "`" characters, but Vim still counts those characters for "virtual
column" when a tab character follows it. So if you have a tag of say
6 characters long, those two concealed character would lead to the tab
character after it start at column 8. gen_help_html.lua doesn't account
for that which leads to formatting flaws in the generated output.
Solution:
Add two spaces after concealed nodes that are followed by a tab char.
Made obsolete by now graduated `filetype.lua` (enabled by default).
Note that changes or additions to the filetype detection still need to
be made through a PR to vim/vim as we port the _logic_ as well as tests.
Problem:
The generated ToC (table of contents) uses anchors derived from the
heading title, e.g. the "Global Plugins" heading yields:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/usr_05.html#_global-plugins-
so if the heading title changes, then the old URL (anchor) is broken.
Solution:
:help tags change less often than heading titles, so if a heading
contains a *tag*, use that as its anchor name instead. Example:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/usr_05.html#standard-plugin
- Improve generated HTML by updating parser which includes fixes for
single "'" and single "|":
https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/pull/31
- Updated parser also fixes the conceal issue for "help" highlight
queries https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/issues/23 by
NOT including whitespace in nodes.
- But this means we need to restore the getws() function which scrapes
leading whitespace from the original input (buffer).
Problem:
- Docs HTML: "foo ~" headings (column_heading) are not aligned with
their table columns/contents because the leading whitespace is not
emitted.
- taglinks starting with hyphen like |-x| were not recognized.
- keycodes like `<foo>` and `CTRL-x` were not recognized.
- ToC is not scrollable.
Solution:
- Add ws() to the column_heading case.
- Update help parser to latest version
- supports `keycode`
- fixes for taglink, argument
- Update .toc CSS. https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
Problem:
The {foo} parameters listed in `:help api` and similar generated docs,
are intended to be a "list" but they aren't prefixed with a list symbol.
This prevents parsers from understanding the list, which forces
generators like `gen_help_html.lua` to use hard-wrapped/preformatted
layout instead of a soft-wrapped "flow" layout.
Solution:
Modify gen_vimdoc.py to prefix {foo} parameters with a "•" symbol.
Problem:
Since eba7b5b646
any opening paren and its leading whitespace " (" are missing in the
generated HTML. Example:
Use ":qa!<Enter>" (careful, all changes are lost!).
^^missing
Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. bars) and hit CTRL-].
^^missing
Solution:
The main recursive loop only processes named children, so check
named_child_count() instead of child_count(). Then anonymous nodes
won't get lost.
vim-patch:8.1.1927: code for dealing with script files is spread out
Problem: Code for dealing with script files is spread out.
Solution: Move the code to scriptfile.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4861)

Problem: Profiling functionality is spread out.
Solution: Put profiling functionality in profiling.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closesvim/vim#4666)

Move proftime_T to types.h for now to avoid recursive #include.
