Rather than relying on the order in which signs are placed to dictate
the order in which they are displayed, explicitly set the priority of
the sign according to the severity of the diagnostic and the value of
severity_sort. If severity_sort is false or unset then all signs use the
same priority.
This function isn't compatible with including diagnostic sources when
"source" is "if_many" since it only has access to diagnostics for a
single line. Rather than having an inconsistent or incomplete interface,
make this function private. It is still exported as part of the module
for backward compatibility with vim.lsp.diagnostics, but it can
eventually be made into a local function.
* feat(diagnostic): add vim.diagnostic.match()
Provide vim.diagnostic.match() to generate a diagnostic from a string and
a Lua pattern.
* feat(diagnostic): add tolist() and fromlist()
When severity_sort is true, higher severities should be displayed before
lower severities (e.g. ERROR is displayed over WARN).
Also improved the test case for this.
This generalizes diagnostic handling outside of just the scope of LSP.
LSP clients are now a specific case of a diagnostic producer, but the
diagnostic subsystem is decoupled from the LSP subsystem (or will be,
eventually).
