* perf(rtp): reduce rtp scans
Problem:
Scanning the filesystem is expensive and particularly affects
startuptime.
Solution:
Reduce the amount of redundant directory scans by relying less on glob
patterns and handle vim and lua sourcing lower down.
Problem: Cursor is not after inline virtual text with left gravity
when inserting after the end of the line.
Solution: Add width of inline virtual text with left gravity to cursor
virtcol in Insert mode even if on a NUL.
Extreme testcase:
```lua
vim.fn.setline(1, 'foobar')
local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace('')
for _ = 1, 100000 do
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_extmark(0, ns, 0, 3, {})
end
local start_time = vim.loop.hrtime()
vim.fn.virtcol('$')
local stop_time = vim.loop.hrtime()
print(stop_time - start_time)
```

Problem: Bashslashes added as regexp in runtime completion may be
treated as path separator with some 'isfname' value.
Solution: Make curly braces work for runtime completion and use it.
Problem:
The default "#" mapping fails on the following example after v$h# with
cursor at start of the first line:
aa?/\bb
aa
aa?/\bb
Solution:
Also escape "?".
Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem: `hl_mode` for inlay hints is `combine`, causing bugs like
inlay hints using highlights from the previous character
(#24152, #24068)
Solution: Don't use hl_mode=combine for inlay hints.
* feat(lua): allow vim.wo to be double indexed
Problem: `vim.wo` does not implement `setlocal`
Solution: Allow `vim.wo` to be double indexed

Problem: When using treesitter foldexpr,
* :diffput/get open diff folds, and
* folds are not updated in other windows that contain the updated
buffer.
Solution: Update folds in all windows that contain the updated buffer
and use expr foldmethod.
Problem:
The parent commit added a new vim.get_visual_selection() function to
improve visual star. But that is redundant with vim.region(). Any
current limitations of vim.region() should be fixed instead of adding
a new function.
Solution:
Delete vim.get_visual_selection().
Use vim.region() to get the visual selection.
TODO: fails with visual "block" selections.
Problem:
Visual mode "*", "#" mappings don't work on text with "/", "\", "?", and
newlines.
Solution:
Get the visual selection and escape it as a search pattern.
Add functions vim.get_visual_selection and _search_for_visual_selection.
Fix#21676
Problem:
Sometimes, when nvim sends the `win_viewport` event, for example when scrolling
with visible folds on the screen, it reports the `scroll_delta` value one batch
into "future". So when the client application is trying to show the new viewport
it's not yet updated, resulting in temporary corruption / screen flickering.
For more details see #23609, and starting from [this comment](
https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/1790#issuecomment-1518697747) in
https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/1790,, where the issue was first
detected. Note that some of the conclusions in those are not fully accurate, but
the general observations are.
Solution:
When there are pending updates to a Window, delay the `win_viewport` UI event
until the updates are sent. This ensures that there's no flush between sending
the viewport and updating of the lines corresponding to the new viewport.
Document the existing viewport behaviour (for cases where there are no
extra flushes), give a hint about how applications can deal with the slightly
surprising behaviour of the viewport event being sent after the updates.
