Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
Currently `nvim -u NORC --cmd "set display-=msgsep"` will still allocate the
message grid and remove it just afterwards. While inefficient, we must
make sure update_screen() re-validates the default_grid completely when
this happens.
Fix some invalid logic: don't reallocate msg_grid on resize when the grid is not
used.
Elide a too early ui_flush() on startup, which caused an invalid cursor
position to be used.
Callers can instead specify `args_rm={'--headless'}`.
TODO: should `nvim_argv` have "--headless" by default? Need to inspect
some uses of spawn(nvim_argv) ...
By historical accident, Nvim defaults to background=light. So on a dark
background, `:colorscheme default` looks completely wrong.
The "smart" logic that Vim uses is confusing for anyone who uses Vim on
multiple platforms, so rather than mimic that, pick the (hopefully) most
common default.
- Since Neovim is dark-powered, we assume most users have dark backgrounds.
- Most of the GUIs tend to have a dark background by default.
ref #6289
NB: existing `color default` test was actually enough to trigger the bug,
when ext_newgrid=false is used. I created the `:hi Normal` test as
I thought the builtin colors wouldn't set Normal (unless 'bg' is changed)
But as the root cause actually comes from `:hi Normal`, it makes sense
to still add the separate test (if `color default` here gets optimized to
become a no-op, or something).
Give embeders a chance to set up nvim, by processing a request before
startup. This allows an external UI to show messages and prompts from
--cmd and buffer loading (e.g. swap files)
