Problem: cannot complete option values
Solution: Add completion functions for several options
Add cmdline tab-completion for setting string options
Add tab-completion for setting string options on the cmdline using
`:set=` (along with `:set+=` and `:set-=`).
The existing tab completion for setting options currently only works
when nothing is typed yet, and it only fills in with the existing value,
e.g. when the user does `:set diffopt=<Tab>` it will be completed to
`set diffopt=internal,filler,closeoff` and nothing else. This isn't too
useful as a user usually wants auto-complete to suggest all the possible
values, such as 'iblank', or 'algorithm:patience'.
For set= and set+=, this adds a new optional callback function for each
option that can be invoked when doing completion. This allows for each
option to have control over how completion works. For example, in
'diffopt', it will suggest the default enumeration, but if `algorithm:`
is selected, it will further suggest different algorithm types like
'meyers' and 'patience'. When using set=, the existing option value will
be filled in as the first choice to preserve the existing behavior. When
using set+= this won't happen as it doesn't make sense.
For flag list options (e.g. 'mouse' and 'guioptions'), completion will
take into account existing typed values (and in the case of set+=, the
existing option value) to make sure it doesn't suggest duplicates.
For set-=, there is a new `ExpandSettingSubtract` function which will
handle flag list and comma-separated options smartly, by only suggesting
values that currently exist in the option.
Note that Vim has some existing code that adds special handling for
'filetype', 'syntax', and misc dir options like 'backupdir'. This change
preserves them as they already work, instead of converting to the new
callback API for each option.

Problem: Highlight for popupmenu kind and extra cannot be set.
Solution: Add PmenuKind, PmenuKindSel, PmenuExtra and PmenuExtraSel
highlight groups and use them. (Gianmaria Bajo, closes#12114)
Problem: Function for setting options not used consistently.
Solution: Use a function for 'encoding' and terminal options. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#12099)
Problem: Still some "else if" constructs for setting options.
Solution: Add a few more functions for handling options. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#12090)
Problem: Too many "else if" statements in handling options.
Solution: Add more functions for handling option changes. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#12060)
Problem: Too many "else if" statements to handle option values.
Solution: Add more functions to handle option value changes. (Yegappan

Problem: Cannot debug the Kitty keyboard protocol with TermDebug.
Solution: Add Kitty keyboard protocol support to the libvterm fork.
Recognize the escape sequences that the protocol generates. Add
the 'keyprotocol' option to allow the user to specify for which
terminal what protocol is to be used, instead of hard-coding this.
Add recognizing the kitty keyboard protocol status.
Problem: Too many #ifdefs.
Solution: Graduate the +cmdwin feature. Now the tiny and small builds are
equal, drop the small build. (Martin Tournoij, closes#11268)
Problem: Cannot specify another character to use instead of '@' at the end
of the window.
Solution: Add "lastline" to 'fillchars'. (Martin Tournoij, closes#11264,
closes#10963)
Problem: The 'splitscroll' option is not a good name.
Solution: Rename 'splitscroll' to 'splitkeep' and make it a string option,
also supporting "topline". (Luuk van Baal, closes#11258)
Problem: When opening/closing window text moves up/down.
Solution: Add the 'splitscroll' option. When off text will keep its
position as much as possible.
Problem: smart/C/lisp indenting is optional, which makes the code more
complex, while it only reduces the executable size a bit.
Solution: Graduate FEAT_CINDENT, FEAT_SMARTINDENT and FEAT_LISP.
Problem: Cannot assign a lambda to an option that takes a function.
Solution: Automatically convert the lambda to a string. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#9286)
