Problem: Cannot append a list of lines to a file.
Solution: Add the append option to writefile(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?r=v7-4-503
-Ported old legacy test over to
test/functional/legacy/writefile_spec.lua
-Tests for mapping and signs from the original patch were removed since
they have nothing to do this with feature
Tested with: make oldtest, make test on OS X.

Even though assuming nvim is busy most times is simpler, it has a problem: A lot
of unnecessary busy_start/busy_stop notifications are sent to the UI. That's
because in the majority of scenarios almost no time is spent between
`event_poll` calls.
This restores the normal behavior which is to call busy_start only when nvim is
going to perform some task that can take a significant amount of time. Also
improve the usage of buffering in the TUI when changing the cursor state.
Switching cursor off is only necessary in two occasions:
- When redrawing to avoid terminal flickering
- When the editor is busy
The first can now be handled by the TUI, so most calls to ui_cursor_off can be
removed from the core.
So, before this commit it was only necessary to switch the cursor off to notify
the user that nvim was running some long operation. Now the cursor_{on,off}
functions have been replaced by busy_{stop,start} which can be handled in a
UI-specific way(turning the cursor off or showing a busy indicator, for
example).
To make things even more simpler, nvim is always busy except when waiting for
user input or other asynchronous events: It automatically switches to a non-busy
state when the event loop is about to be entered for more than 100 milliseconds.
`ui_busy_start` can be called when its not desired to change the busy state in
the event loop (As its now done by functions that perform blocking shell
invocations).
- After _spec suffix was added so busted could find the test, it failed.
- The original legacy test wrote to a "test.out", but the new test uses
register @A.
- Original test did not contain 1d and new test shouldn't either.

It turns out that Busted started cleaning the environment in 2.0rc5 as a
result of Olivine-Labs/busted#62. This, in turn, caused the ffi module
to be reloaded for each spec file, and LuaJIT doesn't appreciate it.
The net effect is an assertion error in LuaJIT.
By using the --helper feature of Busted, we can pre-load some modules
ahead of Busted and prevent it from reloading them--making LuaJIT happy
again.
This is necessary for newer versions of Busted, otherwise assert will be
nil and the tests will die.
Note: this does not mean the tests now work with the latest Busted.
There are still several issues preventing that from happening.
- Removed term.c, term.h and term_defs.h
- Tests for T_* values were removed. screen.c was simplified as a
consequence(the best strategy for drawing is implemented in the UI layer)
- Redraw functions now call ui.c functions directly. Updates are flushed with
`ui_flush()`
- Removed all termcap options(they now return empty strings for compatibility)
- &term/&ttybuiltin options return a constant value(nvim)
- &t_Co is still available, but it mirrors t_colors directly
- Remove cursor tracking from screen.c and the `screen_start` function. Now the
UI is expected to maintain cursor state across any call, and reset it when
resized.
- Remove unused code
- The syntax `gui=` is invalid when setting properties of highlight group.
- Wait for the initial "-- More --" prompt before continuing. Required to avoid
a race condition
Some screen tests such as system/ctrl+c(viml_system_spec.lua) can take some time
to respond(default kill timeout is 2 seconds for an interrupted job) and fail
when running under a slow environment such as travis.
The `system` function is never executed with these tests because the ctrl+c is
queued with the input string that calls it(The `process_interrupts` function
will destroy all previous input when a ctrl+c is found).
