Problem:
- Unix sockets are created in random /tmp dirs.
- /tmp is messy, unclear when OSes actually clear it.
- The generated paths are very ugly. This adds friction to reasoning
about which paths belong to which Nvim instances.
- No way to provide a human-friendly way to identify Nvim instances in
logs or server addresses.
Solution:
- Store unix sockets in stdpath('state')
- Allow --listen "name" and serverstart("name") to given a name (which
is appended to a generated path).
TODO:
- is stdpath(state) the right place?
Problem:
1. Log messages (especially in CI) are hard to correlate with tests.
2. Since b353a5c05f#11886, dumplog() prints the logs next to test
failures. This is noisy and gets in the way of the test results.
Solution:
1. Associate an incrementing id with each test and include it in log
messages.
- FUTURE: add v:name so Nvim instances can be formally "named"?
2. Mention "child" in log messages if the current Nvim is a child (based
on the presence of $NVIM).
