This release represents ~4000 commits since v0.4.4, the previous
non-maintenance release. Highlights include builtin support for LSP, new APIs
for extended marks (with byte resolution tracking of changes) and buffer
decorations, as well as vast improvements to lua as a plugin and configuration
language. Experimental support for tree-sitter as a syntax engine is also
included, building on the new core APIs for byte tracking and decorations.

e65d0e53b vim.fn: throw error when trying to use API function
This is a fixup for #14915, which used the above-mentioned call to
restore the behavior of the pre-release version of tree-sitter to
that of 0.19.5. However, this function was introduced after 0.19.5,
breaking distro builds that link against 0.19.5 instead of the tag
specified in neovim's build script.
Now the function should only be called when it is available _and_
needed. Once tree-sitter is bumped to 0.19.6 (when this is released),
this guard can be removed again.
Fixes#14923 (among others)
`find_package(Foo ...)` expects to find a file FindFoo.cmake and the
resulting variables to be named `Foo_...`. If those don't all match up,
then the detection does not work properly.
Closes#13262
Problem: On Windows with the MSVC build, gettext-translation
"Questa è già la" displays as "Questa <e8> gi<e0> la".
Solution: Fix iconv detection iconv when building gettext.
So HAVE_ICONV is correctly defined when building nvim.
* fix gettext mb chars on MSVC
* fix libintl detection failure on MSVC
fixes#11749
This is relevant for when using `USE_BUNDLED_LUAJIT=ON` with
`USE_BUNDLED_LUAROCKS=OFF`, and then building without the necessary modules
being installed/activated there yet: it would check the other (system) "lua"
interpreters also, and in case all failed keep the `LUA_PRG` in the cache for
the last failed entry - making it not re-check the previous ones on the next
build (after you might have activated your custom LuaRocks installation).
Only setting LUA_PRG if the check was successful handles the case better where
it is configured already - we should not try to re-configure it then.
This avoids invoking CMake after a new commit, which might take 15s on
some systems.
Skipped on CMake < 3.2.0 (missing BYPRODUCTS support).

Lua
This release introduces "Nvim-Lua standard library". See ":help lua-stdlib".
89d7e24891#9463 Lua stdlib: vim.inspect, string functions
8e941c59ec#9740 Lua: generate documentation from docstrings
1cbe014569#9301 lua/stdlib: Introduce vim.shared
c83926cd0a#10123 Lua: introduce vim.loop (expose libuv event-loop)
81e1dbca99#10120 Lua: vim.schedule(cb)
1f54f68732#10688 Lua: minimal UTF-16 support needed for LSP
6fb0020df4#10513 Lua encoding support
c0993ed343 Lua: support getting UTF-32 and UTF-16 sizes of replaced text
b0e26199ec Lua: add {old_byte_size} to on_lines buffer change event
UI:
- The Nvim 0.3.4 UI protocol introduced line-based updates instead of
legacy char-based updates. Nvim 0.4 continues to evolve the UI
protocol. See ":help ui". Legacy UI clients are supported. See
":help api-contract".
9a1675b065#6619 Floating windows
- Can be (re)positioned, anchored, external.
- Are real windows showing real buffers. No shortcuts, hacks, or compromises.
- Support all features and API of normal windows, plus more.
6427894d89#8455 Multigrid: "windows drawn on separate grids"
- Windows are logically isolated internally.
- Windows are sent to UIs as distinct objects, so that UIs can control
layout instead of being stuck with the classic TUI layout.
- Per-window font-size, dimenions, line-spacing.
- Compositor: Internal subsystem for composing grids.
3855204f58#6917 UIEnter, UILeave
788bcbba24#9923 ui: ":syn blend=", 'winblend'
7cf7c0a0b8#9575 ui: 'redrawdebug' option for flexible debugging of redrawing
5c836d2ef8#9607 wildoptions=pum (enabled by default)
37f8df8824#9571 UI: 'pumblend' option for semi-transparent popupmenu
c403a95a52#9446 Visual: highlight char-at-cursor
- Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which
perhaps conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But
'guicursor' defaults to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and
this confuses users who expect to see the text highlighted.

58f505dc74#9829 startup: remove TUI init special-case
Historically Vim/Nvim does backflips to handle input and show messages
before a UI is available. This logical contradiction was already fixed
for remote UIs (#9024c236e80cf3). Fixing it also for the TUI avoids
problems on Windows, simplifies the logic, and avoids races like #9959.
libvterm now advertises a version number, so we can specify the minimum
required version. And this is necessary because there were breaking
changes in its API.
ref 2a590e2293
ref https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/10991
We are using "LIBFOO" prefixes for `LIBFOO_INCLUDE_DIRS` etc, and
therefore need to use this for the PREFIX with LibFindMacros also, so
that `"${${PREFIX}_FIND_VERSION}"` gets handled there properly.
The alternative would be to either manually handle/set the upper/mixed case
variants of those variable additionally, which is not as easy.
Keeping the existing names is useful for packagers.
Before this the version requirements with
`find_package(Unibilium 2.0 REQUIRED)` was not handled (a49cf5126), and
it prepares for using a required version with libvterm
(initially/wrongly ported in 1896c72a5).
This avoids errors when using "make lint", but "flake8" is not
available. We do not want to install it then via third-party.
On CI "make pylint" is used explicitly.
* build: require unibilium>=2.0
This also ports FindUnibilium to LibFindMacros, which was planned
anyway, and makes the version check easier.
With an older Unibilium our fallback code in `terminfo_from_builtin`
will not work (because it assumes the new data structures from 2.0.0 [1]),
and nvim would crash later because of `ut` being NUL.

Might not be necessary anymore, at least it is fine on gcc 9.1, and
since the bug is still open/unresolved, something else might have fixed
it.
Ref: 4b81f627c
Ref: #7083
`check_c_compiler_flag(-Wno-doesnotexist …)` is successful always,
apparently for all "no-" prefixes.
Therefore check for the flag itself (without "no-" prefix).
I am seeing a warning if the source fails to compile:
> cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wno-meh’
Which is turned into an error with `-Werror`:
> cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wno-meh’ [-Werror]
But when it compiles successfully, there is no warning/error.

* build: FindLibIntl: fix warning about CMP0075
The common pattern elsewhere to set this only during the check, and here
it was not unset, resulting in a warning later (on Alpine 3.10):
-- Found Iconv
-- Looking for pthread.h
CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.cmake:80 (message):
Policy CMP0075 is not set: Include file check macros honor
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0075" for policy
details. Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this
warning.
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES is set to:
/usr/lib/libintl.so
For compatibility with CMake 3.11 and below this check is ignoring it.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindThreads.cmake:105 (CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE)
CMakeLists.txt:482 (find_package)
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
-- Looking for pthread.h - found
* build: remove lists / REMOVE_ITEM around check_c_source_compiles
- Move .luacheckrc to root, add read_globals=vim
- Simplify lualint target, run it on all lua files
- Lint preload.lua, but ignore W211
- Remove testlint target, included in lualint (and lint)
- Clean up .luacheckrc
Required after d33aaa0f5.
Does not really make a difference, since the VERSION is not handled with
our FindLibLUV (due to missing pkg-config information
(https://github.com/luvit/luv/issues/354)).
Keeps using add_definitions for compatibility with older CMake.
Newer CMake (3.12) would have `add_compile_definitions`, but it is not
required, since `add_defitions` was meant to be used for
compile/preprocessor definitions initially anyway.

Just set it from `${CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME}` directly, instead of passing it
from the main CMake file (CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME defaults to it, but is empty
in script mode).
Initially added in 9ce81f7b2, but then even used with unrelated commands
(that do not use RunTests.cmake, e.g. 221f6fffa).
