Problem: "99 searchcount ought to be enough for anyone."
Solution: Increase `SEARCH_STAT_DEF_MAX_COUNT` to 999, which I'm sure
will suffice for the next twenty years.

feat(exrc): search exrc in parent directories
Problem:
`.nvim.lua` is only loaded from current directory, which is not flexible
when working from a subfolder of the project.
Solution:
Also search parent directories for configuration file.
Problem:
First rtp directory is unpredictable and not in line with XDG
base spec.
Solution:
Use stdpath('data')/spell as directory if 'spellfile' is not set.

Problem: Diff mode's inline highlighting is lackluster. It only
performs a line-by-line comparison, and calculates a single
shortest range within a line that could encompass all the
changes. In lines with multiple changes, or those that span
multiple lines, this approach tends to end up highlighting
much more than necessary.
Solution: Implement new inline highlighting modes by doing per-character
or per-word diff within the diff block, and highlight only the
relevant parts, add "inline:simple" to the defaults (which is
the old behaviour)
This change introduces a new diffopt option "inline:<type>". Setting to
"none" will disable all inline highlighting, "simple" (the default) will
use the old behavior, "char" / "word" will perform a character/word-wise
diff of the texts within each diff block and only highlight the
differences.
The new char/word inline diff only use the internal xdiff, and will
respect diff options such as algorithm choice, icase, and misc iwhite
options. indent-heuristics is always on to perform better sliding.
For character highlight, a post-process of the diff results is first
applied before we show the highlight. This is because a naive diff will
create a result with a lot of small diff chunks and gaps, due to the
repetitive nature of individual characters. The post-process is a
heuristic-based refinement that attempts to merge adjacent diff blocks
if they are separated by a short gap (1-3 characters), and can be
further tuned in the future for better results. This process results in
more characters than necessary being highlighted but overall less visual
noise.
For word highlight, always use first buffer's iskeyword definition.
Otherwise if each buffer has different iskeyword settings we would not
be able to group words properly.
The char/word diffing is always per-diff block, not per line, meaning
that changes that span multiple lines will show up correctly.
Added/removed newlines are not shown by default, but if the user has
'list' set (with "eol" listchar defined), the eol character will be be
highlighted correctly for the specific newline characters.
Also, add a new "DiffTextAdd" highlight group linked to "DiffText" by
default. It allows color schemes to use different colors for texts that
have been added within a line versus modified.
This doesn't interact with linematch perfectly currently. The linematch
feature splits up diff blocks into multiple smaller blocks for better
visual matching, which makes inline highlight less useful especially for
multi-line change (e.g. a line is broken into two lines). This could be
addressed in the future.
As a side change, this also removes the bounds checking introduced to
diff_read() as they were added to mask existing logic bugs that were
properly fixed in vim/vim#16768.

The name of Cmdwin* events were changed to CmdWin* in 8ed2dbf6e2
without explanation. This commit changes them back.
This doesn't affect the creation or execution of autocommands. It only
affects the listing of autocommands.
Problem: It's difficult for colorscheme authors to know which highlight
groups should be defined.
Solution: List and link to all built-in highlight group categories. Also
remove outdated text on "preferred" and "secondary" groups.
Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
Problem:
`nvim -es` (and `nvim -Es`) is the recommended way to non-interactively
run commands/vimscript. But it enables shada by default, which is
usually not wanted.
Solution:
- Disable shada by default for `nvim -es/-Es`. This can be overridden by
`-i foo` if needed.
- Do NOT change the 'loadplugins' default.
- User config + packages _should_ be enabled by default, for both `nvim
-es` and `nvim -l`. Else any Lua packages you have can't be accessed
without `-u path/to/config`, which is clumsy.
- Use-cases:
```
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
would become: nvim -es "+Lazy! sync"
nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall
would become: nvim -es +PlugInstall
```
- Opt-out (`--clean` or `-u NONE`) is much easier than opt-in (`-u
path/to/config`).
- User config/packages are analogous to pip packages, which are
expected when doing `python -c ...`.

When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets
the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the
parent terminal to match.
This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal
emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the
virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to
change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the
TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups.
The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor'
value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the
TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal
windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is
no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to
highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to
differentiate non-focused terminal windows.
BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.
Problem: :sleep! not hiding the cursor is an arbitrary difference from
Vim without obvious justification, and Vim's behavior isn't
easily achievable in Nvim.
Solution: Make :sleep! hide the cursor while sleeping.

Problem: default for 'backspace' can be set in C code

Problem: We use `void *` for option default values, which is confusing and can cause problems with type-correctness. It also doesn't accomodate for multitype options. On top of that, it also leads to default boolean option values not behaving correctly on big endian systems.
Solution: Use `OptVal` for option default values.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `:set {option}<` removes the local value for all global-local options instead of just string global-local options.
- `:setlocal {option}<` copies the global value to the local value for number and boolean global-local options instead of removing the local value.
Problem:
Hidden options are documented despite being no-ops.
Solution:
Remove docs for hidden options.
Move tags for options that we plan to restore, to ":help nvim-missing".
Move tags for permanently removed options, to ":help nvim-removed".
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
Problem: Some runtime files no longer spark joy.
Solution: Kondo the place up.
Still sparks _some_ joy (moved to new `runtime/scripts` folder):
* `macros/less.*`
* `mswin.vim`
* `tools/emoji_list.lua`
No longer sparks joy (removed):
* `macmap.vim` (gvimrc file; not useful in Nvim)
* `tools/check_colors.vim` (no longer useful with new default colorscheme and treesitter)
* `macros/editexisting.vim` (throws error on current Nvim)
* `macros/justify.vim` (obsolete shim for `packadd! justify`)
* `macros/matchit.vim` (same)
* `macros/shellmenu.vim` (same)
* `macros/swapmous.vim` (same)
Problem: Current instance of last search pattern not easily spotted.
Solution: Add CurSearch highlighting. (closesvim/vim#10133)

Some code is superseded by later patches that are already ported.

Revert the default LSP mappings before the 0.10 release as these might
need some further consideration. In particular, it's not clear if "c"
prefixed maps in Normal mode are acceptable as defaults since they
interfere with text objects or operator ranges.
We will re-introduce default mappings at the beginning of the 0.11
release cycle, this reversion is only for the imminent 0.10 release.
