Problem:
Build is not reproducible, because generated source files (.c/.h/) are not
deterministic, mostly because Lua pairs() is unordered by design (for security).

Solution:
- Update the code generation scripts to be deterministic.
- That is only a partial solution: the exported function
(funcs_metadata.generated.h) and ui event
(ui_events_metadata.generated.h) metadata have some mpack'ed
tables, which are not serialized deterministically.
- As a workaround, introduce `PRG_GEN_LUA` cmake setting, so you can
inject a modified build of luajit (with LUAJIT_SECURITY_PRN=0)
that preserves table order.
- Longer-term we should change the mpack'ed data structure so it no
longer uses tables keyed by strings.

Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.

Add introductory guide explaining how to use Lua in Neovim:
where to put Lua files, how to set variables and options, how
to create mappings, autocommands, and user commands.

Introduce vim.secure.trust() to programmatically manage the trust
database. Use this function in a new :trust ex command which can
be used as a simple frontend.

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.
fix(vim.ui.input): return empty string when inputs nothing
The previous behavior of `vim.ui.input()` when typing <CR> with
no text input (with an intention of having the empty string as input)
was to execute `on_confirm(nil)`, conflicting with its documentation.
Inputting an empty string should now correctly execute `on_confirm('')`.
This should be clearly distinguished from cancelling or aborting the
input UI, in which case `on_confirm(nil)` is executed as before.
Problem:
- pesc() returns multiple results, it should return a single result.
- tbl_islist() returns non-boolean in some branches.
- Docstring: @generic must be declared first
Solution:
Constrain docstring annotations.
Fix return types.

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.
- 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:
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.
Makes it possible to use `vim.fs.find` to find files where only a
substring is known.
This is useful for `vim.lsp.start` to get the `root_dir` for languages
where the project-file is only known by its extension, not by the full
name.
For example in .NET projects there is usually a `<projectname>.csproj`
file in the project root.
Example:
vim.fs.find(function(x) return vim.endswith(x, '.csproj') end, { upward = true })
Problem: People are confused about `vim.o` and `vim.opt`
Solution: Clarify that `vim.o` is the default interface, with `vim.opt`
specifically meant for interacting with list-style options.
docs(lua): update vim.{go,bo,wo} documentation
* document indexing by buffer/window handle
* correct wrapper information (`nvim_buf_{g,s}et_value` now)
* make clear what is considered "invalid key" (consistently)
based on http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1291
reformatted to match Nvim documentation style; removed irrelevant sections
