Problem: CTRL-X CTRL-R only completes individual words from registers,
making it difficult to insert complete register content.
Solution: Add consecutive CTRL-X CTRL-R support - first press completes
words, second press completes full register lines, similar to
CTRL-X CTRL-L and CTRL-X CTRL-P behavior (glepnir).

Problem: not easily possible to complete from register content

Problem: regexp: max \U and \%U value is limited by INT_MAX but gives a
confusing error message (related: v8.1.0985).
Solution: give a better error message when the value reaches INT_MAX
When searching Vim allows to get up to 8 hex characters using the /\V
and /\%V regex atoms. However, when using "/\UFFFFFFFF" the code point is
already above what an integer variable can hold, which is 2,147,483,647.
Since patch v8.1.0985, Vim already limited the max codepoint to INT_MAX
(otherwise it caused a crash in the nfa regex engine), but instead of
error'ing out it silently fell back to parse the number as a backslash
value and not as a codepoint value and as such this "/[\UFFFFFFFF]" will
happily find a "\" or an literal "F". And this "/[\d127-\UFFFFFFFF]"
will error out as "reverse range in character class).
Interestingly, the max Unicode codepoint value is U+10FFFF which still
fits into an ordinary integer value, which means, that we don't even
need to parse 8 hex characters, but 6 should have been enough.
However, let's not limit Vim to search for only max 6 hex characters
(which would be a backward incompatible change), but instead allow all 8
characters and only if the codepoint reaches INT_MAX, give a more
precise error message (about what the max unicode codepoint value is).
This allows to search for "[\U7FFFFFFE]" (will likely return "E486
Pattern not found") and "[/\U7FFFFFF]" now errors "E1517: Value too
large, max Unicode codepoint is U+10FFFF".
While this change is straight forward on architectures where long is 8
bytes, this is not so simple on Windows or 32bit architectures where long
is 4 bytes (and therefore the test fails there). To account for that,
let's make use of the vimlong_T number type and make a few corresponding
changes in the regex engine code and cast the value to the expected data
type. This however may not work correctly on systems that doesn't have
the long long datatype (e.g. OpenVMS) and probably the test will fail
there.

Problem: OS/2 and MS-DOS are still mentioned, even though support was
removed long ago.
Solution: Update documentation. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#5368)
Problem: Remarks about functionality not in Vi clutters the help.
Solution: Move all info about what is new in Vim or already existed in Vi to
vi_diff.txt. Remove {not in Vi} remarks. (closes#4268) Add
"noet" to the help files modeline. Also include many other help
file improvements.
Problem: {not in Vi} remarks get in the way of useful help text.
Solution: Make a list of all Vi options, instead of mentioning what Vi does
not have. Update the help text for options.
