- silence false warnings on MSVC
- merge `clang-tidy` cmake target into `lintc` and remove the
corresponding make target
- use cmake's built-in endianness detection
Problem: Configure script may not detect xattr correctly
Solution: include sys/xattr instead of attr/xattr,
make Test_write_with_xattr_support() test
xattr feature correctly
This also applies to the Smack security feature, so change the include
and configure script for it as well.

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.

Having the same directory listed multiple times makes the --version
output needlessly complicated to visualize. This deduplication will only
work for cmake version 3.15 and above, which should be the majority of
neovim builds by now. For older cmake versions we default to the
previous behavior of listing duplicate include directories.
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.
When using a multi config generator, CMake generates an output file for
each configuration when using file(GENERATE). When the contents of the
file for each configuration are different, CMake fails. Instead, create
separate files for each configuration and add a build time step to copy
the configuration specific file to the generic path "auto/versiondef.h"
which is included at build time.
file(GENERATE) has surprising behavior as it doesn't allow different
file contents for configurations with the same file name. This results
in an error when building neovim with a multi-config generator. Use a
workaround for now where we set the build type for multi-config
generators to "Unknown".
Any logic involving CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is automatically broken as it won't
work with multi-config generators. The only exception is if we
explicitly check whether the current generator is single-config as well.
Instead, use generator expressions or cmake variables that allows to set
options for certain build types only such as
INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_<CONFIG>.
Opt to generate all headers with optimization level O2 with no debug
information for all build types as that is the simplest way to make it
behave the same for all generators.
Replace old-school cmake with the so-called "Modern CMake", meaning
preferring using targets and properties over directory settings and
variables. This allows greater flexibility, robustness and clarity over
how the code works.
The following deprecated commands will be replaced with their modern
alternatives that operates on a specific target, rather than all targets
in the current directory:
- add_compile_options -> target_compile_options
- include_directories -> target_include_directories
- link_libraries -> target_link_libraries
- add_definitions -> target_compile_definitions
There are mainly four main targets that we currently use: nvim, libnvim,
nvim-test (used by unittests) and ${texe} (used by
check-single-includes). The goal is to explicitly define the
dependencies of each target fully, rather than having everything be
dependent on everything else.
Problem: With a long running Vim the temp directory might be cleared on
some systems.
Solution: Lock the temp directory. (closesvim/vim#6044)

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/)
