`[Backport release-x.y]` will no longer be part of the pull request
title. This means the PR titles will go from looking like
```
[Backport release-0.9] fix(languagetree): remove double recursion in LanguageTree:parse
```
to
```
fix(languagetree): remove double recursion in LanguageTree:parse
```
The benefit of this is that pull requests merged with the "Squash and
Merge" strategy (which uses the PR title as the commit message), will
still follow the conventional commits specification. This will help
tools that rely on conventional commits such as git-cliff.
The `backport` label is added to backported PRs to help distinguish
between backport PRs with regular PRs in the "Pull Requests" tab on
github.
To reduce confusion with the `backport` label, the label to trigger the
backporting has been changed from `backport release-x.y` to
`ci:backport release-x.y`. This is also more consistent with other
labels that trigger a CI job which all use the `ci:` prefix.
Setting the label `ci:skip-news` will skip the job. This is useful for
maintainers to indicate to contributors that a feature isn't big enough
to warrant a news entry, or for contributors who dislike red CI even if
there's nothing wrong.
Also change label `ci-s390x` to `ci:s390x`; this way it'll be easier to
see that `ci:` are a subcategory of labels that affect CI in some way.
- Add section `VIM.LPEG` and `VIM.RE` to docs/lua.txt.
- Add `_meta/re.lua` which adds luadoc and type annotations, for the
vendored `vim.re` package.
- Fix minor style issues on `_meta/lpeg.lua` luadoc for better vimdocs
generation.
- Fix a bug on `gen_vimdoc` where non-helptags in verbatim code blocks
were parsed as helptags, affecting code examples on `vim.lpeg.Cf`,
etc.
- Also move the `vim.regex` section below so that it can be located
closer to `vim.lpeg` and `vim.re`.
docs(MAINTAIN.md): update deprecation policy
Refine a deprecation policy and add another deprecation period in which
a feature is only deprecated via documentation and does not issue a
warning.
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: mention --luadev-mod to run with lua runtime files
When changing a lua file in the ./runtime folder, a new contributor
might expect changes to be applied to the built Neovim binary.
Having a workflow that only builds neovim without running all of the
tests is a cheap way to test the build still works without burning too
much CI time.
Problem:
Dirs "config", "packaging", and "third-party" are all closely related
but this is not obvious from the layout. This adds friction for new
contributors.
Solution:
- rename config/ to cmake.config/
- rename test/config/ to test/cmakeconfig/ because it is used in Lua
tests: require('test.cmakeconfig.paths').
- rename packaging/ to cmake.packaging/
- rename third-party/ to cmake.deps/ (parallel with .deps/)
Trigger the backport action upon merge by marking a PR with the label `backport <branchname>` or after merge by applying the label and writing a comment containing `/backport`.
