This has been bothering me quite for some time and I never knew why it
happened. Just today it occurred to me this might have been because of
the last-position-jump.
So I figured, let's fix it for everybody, not just me.

Problem: default history value is too small
Solution: promote the change from defaults.vim back to
the C core, so increase the default 'history' option value
from 50 to 200 (Lucca Saccarola)

Problem: 'wildmenu' not enabled by default in nocp mode
Solution: promote the default Vim value to true, it has been enabled
in defaults.vim anyhow, so remove it there (Luca Saccarola)

Vim tries to determine the default background and checks for $TERM
and even checks for the "putty" value. But unfortunately, putty by
default uses "xterm" as $TERM value and as such Vim uses a "light"
background.
So use a TermResponse autocommand to set the background for putty back
to dark.
Note: this only works on non-tiny builds and when defaults.vim is in
use.

* Dedicate upcoming Vim 9.1 to Bram
Also replace in a few more places Brams email address and mention new
maintainers.
* Remove Bram from any Maintainer role
* runtime: Align Header
* it's mailing list not mailinglist
Using xxd(1) to filter and edit binary files causes the input files
to have dual nature, so to speak, which effectively makes restoring
the cursor position broken. Fix that by ignoring the "xxd" file type
in the code that restores the cursor position.
Interactive rebasing in git causes files to be edited in vim, which,
similarly to commit messages, are rarely the same as the last one
edited. Thus, also add "gitrebase" to the list of file types for
which the cursor position isn't restored.
While there, refactor the code a bit to possibly save a few CPU cycles
and to keep the line lengths in check, and use the long form of the
commands and variables, to make the code slightly more consistent and
more understandable to newcomers.
Update the relevant comments in the code and the associated parts of
the documentation, to keep them in sync with the updated code.
Remove some redundant trailing whitespace as well, as spotted.
Problem: Message for opening the cmdline window is not translated.
Solution: Add gettext() and scan the defaults script for text to be
translated. (closes#12371)
Problem: Users who type "q:" instead of ":q" are confused.
Solution: Add an autocmd to give a message that explains this is the
command-line window. (Egor Zvorykin, closes#9146)
Problem: The cursor position is set to the last position in a new commit
message.
Solution: Don't set the position if the filetype matches "commit".
(Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Setting nocompatible for the tiny version moves the cursor.
Solution: Use another trick to skip commands when the +eval feature is
present. (Christian Brabandt, closes#1630)
Problem: No way for a system wide vimrc to stop loading defaults.vim.
(Christian Hesse)
Solution: Bail out of defaults.vim if skip_defaults_vim was set.
Problem: The 'langnoremap' option leads to double negatives. And it does
not work for the last character of a mapping.
Solution: Add 'langremap' with the opposite value. Keep 'langnoremap' for
backwards compatibility. Make it work for the last character of a
mapping. Make the test work.
Problem: Loading defaults.vim with -C argument.
Solution: Don't load the defaults script with -C argument. Test sourcing
the defaults script. Set 'display' to "truncate".
