Problem: Missing information in CompleteDone event
Solution: add complete_word and complete_type to v:event dict
(glepnir)
closes: vim/vim#161531c5a120a70
In particular, make the distinction and interaction between "noinsert"
and "noselect" clearer as it was very confusing before.

Problem: Documentation for "hl_group" in nvim_buf_set_extmark() is
unclear. "hl_group" in nvim_echo() does not accept
highlight group id.
Solution: Move documentation for highlight group name/id to first
mention of hl_group. Update nvim_echo() to accept highlight
group id.
Problem: Floating windows with focusable set to false can reasonably be
expected to be UI elements but are listed in some outputs that
should contain only regular windows.
Solution: Hide unfocusable floating windows from the default tabline and
:tabs.
Problem: No longer able to show prompt messages with vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Do not execute callback in fast context for prompt message
kinds. These events must be safe to show the incoming message
so the event itself serves to indicate that the message
should be shown immediately.
Problem: message history is fixed to 200
Solution: Add the 'msghistory' option, increase the default
value to 500 (Shougo Matsushita)

Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
Problem: 'findexpr' can't be used for lambads

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.
Solution: Set v:fname to the cmdline argument as-is (zeertzjq).

PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```

Problem:
Hidden options are documented despite being no-ops.
Solution:
Remove docs for hidden options.
Move tags for options that we plan to restore, to ":help nvim-missing".
Move tags for permanently removed options, to ":help nvim-removed".
vim-patch:8.2.4744: a terminal window can't use the bell
vim-patch:8.2.4745: using wrong flag for using bell in the terminal
BREAKING CHANGE: Bells from :terminal are now silent by default, unless
'belloff' option doesn't contain "term" or "all".
This commit makaes the following changes to the vim help syntax:
- fix excessive URL detection in help, because `file:{filename}` in
doc/options.txt is determined to be a URL.
- update highlighting N for :resize in help
- split Italian-specific syntax into separate help script
- highlight `Note` in parentheses in help
- update 'titlestring' behaviour in documentation for invalid '%' format

Problem: Some runtime files no longer spark joy.
Solution: Kondo the place up.
Still sparks _some_ joy (moved to new `runtime/scripts` folder):
* `macros/less.*`
* `mswin.vim`
* `tools/emoji_list.lua`
No longer sparks joy (removed):
* `macmap.vim` (gvimrc file; not useful in Nvim)
* `tools/check_colors.vim` (no longer useful with new default colorscheme and treesitter)
* `macros/editexisting.vim` (throws error on current Nvim)
* `macros/justify.vim` (obsolete shim for `packadd! justify`)
* `macros/matchit.vim` (same)
* `macros/shellmenu.vim` (same)
* `macros/swapmous.vim` (same)

Problem: 'cedit', 'termwinkey' and 'wildchar' may not be parsed
correctly
Solution: improve string_to_key() function in option.c
(Milly)
- Problem: `^@` raises an error.
Solution: Store as `<Nul>`.
- Problem: `<t_xx` does not raise an error.
Solution: Raise an error if closing `>` is missing.
- Problem: Single `<` or `^` raises an error. It is inconvenient for users.
Solution: They are stored as a single character.

Problem: `runtime/tools/emoji_list.vim` is a Lua script masquerading as
Vimscript, which is unnecessary now that `:source` works for Lua files.
Solution: Remove Vimscript wrapper.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.
