The Sumneko Lua language server has matured quite a bit and many
Neovim developers use it while working on Neovim. Having a default
configuration for Neovim development is a nice convenience (and
dovetails well with the auto-generated compile_command.json for C
development).
The file is shipped under `contrib` and users can make use of it by
symlinking to `.luarc.json` in the project root.
This is already skipped in all CI environments, so it should also be
skipped in environments that don't like fragile tests. Since there's no
convenient way to express these concisely, add the explicit fragile
skip.

The examples are relevant and applicable for both Lua and Vimscript
configurations and the `vim.api.nvim_command` prefixes just add noise
that doesn't contribute to the example.
When the 'focusable' and 'focus_id' parameters are set,
`open_floating_preview` assumes that it should always move focus to an
existing floating window with the same 'focus_id'. However, there are
cases where we want to make a floating window focusable, but do not want
to focus it upon calling `open_floating_preview`. To distinguish these
cases, add a boolean parameter 'focus' that, when false, prevents
moving focus.
Problem: Blockwise insert does not handle autoindent properly when tab is
inserted.
Solution: Adjust text column for indent before computing column.
(closesvim/vim#9229)

When `vim.diagnostic.set()` is called, the diagnostics passed to it are
added to the diagnostic cache. `set()` then calls `show()` and passes
those diagnostics along exactly as they were given to `set()`. However,
we sometimes want to do some kind of post-processing on diagnostics when
they come out of the cache, e.g. clamping line numbers. By forwarding
the diagnostics to `show()` verbatim, `set()` skips this post-processing
which can cause other bugs downstream.
Instead of passing the diagnostics directly, make the `show()` call from
within `set()` retrieve diagnostics from the cache. In general, all
diagnostics operations should follow the pattern of "producers put
things in the cache" and "consumers get things out of the cache" and
this change better adheres to that pattern.
* str_utfindex checks number of arguments only, but ignores the case in
which the second argument is an explicit nil. Previously this required
dropping the second argument entirely.
* Modify the C binding to explicitly check if the second argument is nil
This allows users to hook into diagnostic events with finer granularity
(e.g. per-buffer or file).
BREAKING CHANGE: DiagnosticsChanged and LspDiagnosticsChanged user
autocommands are removed.
Previously, the built-in language server client checked if the first
argument of cmd was executable via vim.fn.executable. This ignores PATH
injected via cmd_env. Instead, we now start the client via uv.spawn, and
handle the failure mode, reporting the error back to the user.
