vim-patch:7.4.280  #745

Problem:    When using a session file the relative position of the cursor is
            not restored if there is another tab. (Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Solution:   Update w_wrow before calculating the fraction.

vim-patch:7.4.281  #746

Problem:    When a session file has more than one tabpage and 'showtabline' is
            one the positions may be slightly off.
Solution:   Set 'showtabline' to two while positioning windows.

vim-patch:7.4.284  #748

Problem:    Setting 'langmap' in the modeline can cause trouble.  E.g. mapping
            ":" breaks many commands. (Jens-Wolfhard Schicke-Uffmann)
Solution:   Disallow setting 'langmap' from the modeline.

Problem:    Error messages are inconsistant. (ZyX)
Solution:   Change "Lists" to "list".

Problem:    When 'spellfile' is set the screen is not redrawn.
Solution:   Redraw when updating the spelling info. (Christian Brabandt)

vim-patch:7.4.289  #752

Problem:    Pattern with repeated backreference does not match with new regexp
            engine. (Urtica Dioica)
Solution:   Also check the end of a submatch when deciding to put a state in
            the state list.

Add more commented patch numbers to version.c (2)  #763

This should help reduce conflicts when merging patches from upstream.
Remove USE_CR and tag_fgets. #808

These features are only used by legacy Mac OS.
vim-patch:7.4.292  #754

Problem:    Searching for "a" does not match accented "a" with new regexp
            engine, does match with old engine. (David Bürgin)
            "ca" does not match "ca" with accented "a" with either engine.
Solution:   Change the old engine, check for following composing character
            also for single-byte patterns.

vim-patch:7.4.290  #753

Problem:    A non-greedy match followed by a branch is too greedy. (Ingo
            Karkat)
Solution:   Add NFA_MATCH when it is already in the state list if the position
            differs.

text/encoding: constify arguments

Most of these functions don't modify their strings, let's make the contract
a bit clearer. In some cases I've tried to get rid of C89-style variable
declarations at the start of functions, now that I was there.
text: remove useless arg from mb_string2cells

mb_string2cells was always called like mb_string2cells(..., -1) so that was
the only codepath that was tested. @tarruda was the first to try to input an
actual length, after which valgrind detected that funny business was going
on.

It's not even possible to do the right thing with the current text codec
infrastructure: they all assume to be working with C strings. Meaning that
if there is no NUL-terminator, they will happily keep on reading past the
end of Pascal strings. Ergo, passing the length parameter is moot. The
condition in the for-loop was wrong as well (but that's no longer relevant).

Also change the return value to size_t, by analogy with strlen.

msgpack: NULL terminate incoming strings

It's a 1-byte loss of memory but it allows us to skip copying and
NULL-terminating strings when interacting with vim functions that accept C
strings. This lowers the pressure on the allocator and saves lines of code
(no more dup/free pairs).
api: remove some redundant string copies

Now that incoming Pascal strings are NULL-terminated by default, we can skip
some spurious copies.
api: also NUL-terminate Strings made from cstrs

I believe we can now mostly assume that all encountered String's data
members are safe to pass into functions that accept C strings. That should
simplify interop with C string code.
api: unify string conversions, simplify interop

- The data member of String's can now be passed directly to functions
  expecting C strings, as we now guarantee that they are NUL-terminated.
  This obviates the need to use xstrndup and free, simplifying code and
  enhancing performance.
- Use xmemdupz instead of xstrndup for converting String's into C strings.
  It's faster because it doesn't calculate strlen(string.data) (which is
  unnecesary as that information is already provided in string.size anyway).
- Use cstr_to_string to convert from C strings to String, it is both shorter
  and faster than the usual strlen/xstrndup combo, which calls strlen twice.
  cstr_to_string internally calls strlen and then xmemdupz.
