silent-mode (-es/-Es) has been broken for years. The workaround up to
now was to include --headless. But --headless is not equivalent because
it prints all messages, not the limited subset defined by silent-mode.
silent-mode (AKA batch-mode, -es/-Es) by definition should not behave
like a UI.
There are still some places that check `full_screen` to decide behavior,
e.g. msg_start(). Future: maybe eliminate `full_screen`, check
`ui_active()` instead?
Special-case for -E/-Es (as opposed to -e/-es).
-es/-Es is the only mode that really allows N/Vim to work as a batch
script engine. Adding a new flag (say `-x`) would involve a lot of
churn: -es/-Es is implemented by checking `exmode_active` in numerous
places.
This commit does not change -es because some scripts use it. But scripts
are unlikely to use -Es because it is not functionally different from
-es.
Also, both -es and -Es were broken in Nvim for years and no one
mentioned it...
Treat stdin as text by default (so the "-" file is not needed):
echo foo | nvim
It works with file args (implemented in next commit), too:
echo foo | nvim file1.txt file2.txt
Why? Because:
- Execution of input is (1) almost always unintentional/confusing,
and (2) potentially destructive.
- Avoids the need for time-delayed warning. #7659
- The _common_ case is to open text in a buffer, not send commands.
Note:
- Not for Ex-mode (-es) because it is used by scripts. But maybe `-Es`?
- Not for --headless, because stdio may be a protocol stream and may be
used for any purpose by stdioopen().
To treat stdin as Normal-mode commands, use `-s -` instead:
echo ifoo | nvim -s -
Other alternatives:
- Replay a register. E.g. the following mostly works, except @q aborts
on any "beep" (e.g. if the cursor can't move).
nvim -c '%d q|norm @q' -
- Future: Let `:%source` work with unsaved buffer contents?

This code was essentially dead because this condition:
(!parmp->err_isatty && (!parmp->output_isatty || !parmp->input_isatty))
is almost never true.

Solution: Add tests. In the documentation make clear which classes depend
on what library function. Only use :cntrl: and :graph: for ASCII.
