Problem:
Directories that are "trusted" by `vim.secure.read()`, are not detectable later
(they will prompt again). https://github.com/neovim/neovim/discussions/33587#discussioncomment-12925887
Solution:
`vim.secure.read()` returns `true` if the user trusts a directory.
Also fix other bugs:
- If `f:read('*a')` returns `nil`, we treat that as a successful read of
the file, and hash it. `f:read` returns `nil` for directories, but
it's also documented as returning `nil` "if it cannot read data with the
specified format". I reworked the implementation so we explicitly
treat directories differently. Rather than hashing `nil` to put in the
trust database, we now put "directory" in there explicitly*.
- `vim.secure.trust` (used by `:trust`) didn't actually work for
directories, as it would blindly read the contents of a netrw buffer
and hash it. Now it uses the same codepath as `vim.secure.read`, and
as a result, works correctly for directories.
Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
- Added `@inlinedoc` so single use Lua types can be inlined into the
functions docs. E.g.
```lua
--- @class myopts
--- @inlinedoc
---
--- Documentation for some field
--- @field somefield integer
--- @param opts myOpts
function foo(opts)
end
```
Will be rendered as
```
foo(opts)
Parameters:
- {opts} (table) Object with the fields:
- somefield (integer) Documentation
for some field
```
- Marked many classes with with `@nodoc` or `(private)`.
We can eventually introduce these when we want to.
Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table
* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions
No more need to mark local functions with @private
* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc
* fixup!

- use pcall when calling vim.secure.read from C
- catch keyboard interrupts in vim.secure.read, rethrow other errors
- selecting "view" in prompt runs :view command
- simplify lua stack cleanup with lua_gettop and lua_settop

This function accepts a path to a file and prompts the user if the file
is trusted. If the user confirms that the file is trusted, the contents
of the file are returned. The user's decision is stored in a trust
database at $XDG_STATE_HOME/nvim/trust. When this function is invoked
with a path that is already marked as trusted in the trust database, the
user is not prompted for a response.
