Problem: cannot distinguish Forth and Fortran *.f files
Solution: Add Filetype detection Code
Also add *.4th as a Forth filetype
closes: vim/vim#1225119a3bc3add
Don't remove filetype files from Vim patches:
- filetype.vim, script.vim, ft.vim usually contain useful changes
- script.vim and ft.vim don't even have their paths spelled correctly

Problem: sidescrolloff and scrolloff options work slightly
different than other global-local options
Solution: Make it behave consistent for all global-local options
It was noticed, that sidescrolloff and scrolloff options behave
differently in comparison to other global-local window options like
'listchars'
So make those two behave like other global-local options. Also add some
extra documentation for a few special local-window options.
Add a few tests to make sure all global-local window options behave
similar

Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
* docs(options): take ownership of options.txt
- `src/nvim/options.lua` is now the source of truth
- generate runtime/lua/vim/_meta/options.lua
* fixup! zeer comments
* fixup! zeer comments (2)
* fixup! re-enable luacheck
* fixup! regen
Problem:
- Notifications are missing from `lsp.Methods`.
- Need a way to represent `$/` prefixed methods.
Solution:
- Generate notifications.
- Use "dollar_" prefix for `$/` methods.
Now that we "own" builtin.txt, we cant remove the repetitive mention of
Vimscript's UFCS syntax. It's noisy to mention this for each function,
and it's also not a Vimscript feature that should be encouraged.
Also change the builtin.txt heading to "NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL", which
indicates when a help file is Nvim-owned.
- eval.lua is now the source of truth.
- Formatting is much more consistent.
- Fixed Lua type generation for polymorphic functions (get(), etc).
- Removed "Overview" section from builtin.txt
- Can generate this if we really want it.
- Moved functions from sign.txt and testing.txt into builtin.txt.
- Removed the *timer* *timers* tags since libuv timers via vim.uv should be preferred.
- Removed the temp-file-name tag from tempname()
- Moved lueval() from lua.txt to builtin.txt.
* Fix indent
* fixup!
* fixup! fixup!
* fixup! better tag formatting
* fixup: revert changes no longer needed
* fixup! CI

When signature is a bit long or there are too many tags, the tags appear
before the signature's line. Don't include the line with tags in the
previous function' docs.
Also fix lint warnings.
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table
* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions
No more need to mark local functions with @private
* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc
* fixup!

Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem: some API functions that check textlock (usually those that can change
curwin or curbuf) can break the cmdwin.
Solution: make FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK call text_locked() instead, which already
checks for textlock, cmdwin and `<expr>` status.
Add FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK_ALLOW_CMDWIN to allow such functions to be usable in the
cmdwin if they can work properly there; the opt-in nature of this attribute
should hopefully help mitigate future bugs.
Also fix a regression in #22634 that made functions checking textlock usable in
`<expr>` mappings, and rename FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK to FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK.
Problem:
In the generated docs HTML there is too much whitespace before/after `<pre>`
blocks.
- In the old layout (fixed-width), all text in `.old-help-para` is formatted as
`white-space:pre`.
- In the new layout, when `<pre>` is at the end of a `<div>`, the margins of
both are redundant, causing too much space.
Solution:
- In the old layout, always remove `<pre>` margin.
- In the new layout, disable `<pre>` margin if it is the last child.
