patch 8.0.0630: it is not easy to work on lines without a match

Problem:    The :global command does not work recursively, which makes it
            difficult to execute a command on a line where one pattern matches
            and another does not match. (Miles Cranmer)
Solution:   Allow for recursion if it is for only one line. (closes #1760)

When the command is used recursively, it only works on one line. Giving a
range is then not allowed. This is useful to find all lines that match a
pattern and do not match another pattern: >
:g/found/v/notfound/{cmd}
This first finds all lines containing "found", but only executes {cmd} when
there is no match for "notfound".
To repeat a non-Ex command, you can use the ":normal" command: >

Make sure that {commands} ends with a whole command, otherwise Vim will wait
for you to type the rest of the command for each match. The screen will not
