Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

In addition: merge some checks for the same feature into one
test_compile. This reduces the total number of test compiles
which speeds up the cmake configure stage.
This value can not be relied on as it doesn't work for
multi-configuration generators. I don't think this undocumented option
is used much, if at all, so I think we should remove it.
Problem: With a long running Vim the temp directory might be cleared on
some systems.
Solution: Lock the temp directory. (closesvim/vim#6044)

This was previously disabled due to build issues on windows.
Any reasonable platform can now be expected to have the necessary
interfaces to build and run the TUI subsystem.
Runtime quality issues of using the TUI (on any new platform) are not
relevant here. Just run Nvim in an external UI instead of the TUI as always.
Problem:
Dirs "config", "packaging", and "third-party" are all closely related
but this is not obvious from the layout. This adds friction for new
contributors.
Solution:
- rename config/ to cmake.config/
- rename test/config/ to test/cmakeconfig/ because it is used in Lua
tests: require('test.cmakeconfig.paths').
- rename packaging/ to cmake.packaging/
- rename third-party/ to cmake.deps/ (parallel with .deps/)
