Problem: clipboard registers "+" and "*" synced without "autoselect"
Solution: Remove code that explicitly syncs those clipboard registers
(Corey Hickey)
Before this change, writes to '+' get copied to '*', but only under
certain conditions. By default, this does not happen, because clipboard
"autoselect" (via :set clipboard+=autoselect) is enabled. Disabling
"autoselect" (an option which should only apply to visual mode) results
in normal-mode writes such as "+yy also going to the '*' register.
This behavior is undocumented and untested; remove the behavior in order
to make Vim's handling of these two registers be consistent.
This frees up the did_star variable to be removed.
Add a test to check that the registers are independent.

Problem: tests: excessive wait in Test_matchfuzzy_initialized
Solution: Use term_wait() instead of the TermWait() wrapper
(Corey Hickey)
Test_matchfuzzy_initialized is a terminal test, which are specified to be
"flaky" and automatically retried. The TermWait wrapper multiplies the
specified wait time by higher values for later retries, maxing out at
10x the specified value. This makes tries #3 to #6 sleep for 20 seconds
each, which makes the test very slow to work with. The specified intent
of the test (as noted in a comment eight lines above here) is to
sleep for 2s.

Problem: tests: Test_matchfuzzy_initialized() fails
Solution: Send a dummy key (Corey Hickey)
Test_matchfuzzy_initialized seems to expect that the 'lvimgrep' will be
interrupted by sending a SIGINT. If the search finishes beforehand,
though, then the SIGINT triggers vim to tell the user how to quit.
Vim does not show this message immediately, though; instead, vim shows
the message next time it is active. When StopVimInTerminal() sends a key
sequence intended to cause vim to quit, this activates vim to show the
message instead of quitting.
I do not understand every detail of the problem fully--if I type the
characters from StopVimInTerminal() into a post-SIGTERM terminal
directly, that seems to work ok; there seems to be a timing issue due to
sending all the characters at once.
This fix does make the test work reliably for me, and the test still
works even if I limit my CPU frequency so that the search is interrupted
by the SIGINT.

Problem: completion: complete_match() Vim script function and
'isexpand' option are not that useful and confusing
(after v9.1.1341)
Solution: Remove function and option and clean up code and documentation
(Girish Palya).
complete_match() and 'isexpand' add no real functionality to Vim. They
duplicate what `strridx()` already does, yet pretend to be part of the
completion system. They have nothing to do with the completion mechanism.
* `f_complete_match()` in `insexpand.c` does not call any completion code.
It’s just a `STRNCMP()` wrapper with fluff logic.
* `'isexpand'` exists only as a proxy argument to that function.
It does nothing on its own and amounts to misuse of a new option.
The following Vim script function can be used to implement the same
functionality:
```vim
func CompleteMatch(triggers, sep=',')
let line = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)
let result = []
for trig in split(a:triggers, a:sep)
let idx = strridx(line, trig)
if l:idx >= 0
call add(result, [idx + 1, trig])
endif
endfor
return result
endfunc

In the recent xdiff upstream sync (#18765), MAX_CNT in xhistogram was
switched back to using UINT_MAX to match upstream. This exposed an issue
in xdiff that using using min() to compare against the max integer will
not work as the number will just overflow. Switch the check to be done
in a saturating add that respects integer overflow.

Problem: xdiff: included xdiff code is outdated because it is based on
git 2.40.0
Solution: Sync with xdiff from git 2.52 (Yee Cheng Chin).
Git [v2.52](https://github.com/git/git/releases/tag/v2.52.0) has just been
released. Merge from upstream to get the latest version of xdiff. Vim's xdiff
was last updated in #12181 (Patch v9.0.1418) from Git v2.33 to v2.40.
I have refined the strategy for merging from upstream a bit compared to last
time. I use the following commands to create an orphaned branch that extracts
the before/after xdiff source code from the Git codebase, and then perform a
subtree merge. The commits in the orphaned branch are reproducible
deterministically so a reviewer can reproduce the steps and it should result in
identical commit hashes (63264f229d and d741f0e230). The commands are as
follows (you could run in a separate Vim repo to keep things clean):
```bash
git remote add --no-tags git https://github.com/git/git.git
git fetch git
git switch --orphan xdiff-orig
git read-tree --reset -u 73876f4861:xdiff/ # Git v2.40.0
git rm -f xmerge.c # Vim doesn't use xmerge
(GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="dummy" GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="dummy" GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="1600000000 +0000" \
git commit --no-gpg-sign --reuse-message=73876f4861)

git switch -c xdiff-upstream-v2.52.0
git merge -s ours --no-edit --allow-unrelated-histories xdiff-orig

```
For reviewing I recommend using the following commands which simplifies the diff to only what we care about:
- `git show --remerge-diff d353c6f2c8`: This shows how my merge actually
resolved the merge conflicts.
- `vimdiff <(git diff-tree -U0 63264f229d master:src/xdiff/) \
<(git diff-tree -U0 d741f0e230 xdiff-upstream-v2.52.0:src/xdiff) \
-c "silent windo %s/^index.*/index/" \
-c "silent windo %s/^@@ [-+, 0-9]* @@/@@/"`:
This shows how the patch (downstream changes done in Vim on top of Git) has
changed. Note that some local changes for fixing compiler warnings are now gone
because they are fixed upstream.
- d39e28e68c
added a dependency (`signed_add_overflows`) to Git code base. I replaced it
with a custom one since it's not hard to implement.
- Upstream had fixed a lot of compiler warnings with signed/unsigned integers,
so the compiler warning fixes that were done in Vim downstream were removed.
- Replace new `BUG()` calls with `xdl_bug()` where we use Vim's assertion
mechanisms instead.
- Performance improvement due to optimizations in the line hashing function
(41d97837ab and
a4bbe8af0b).
- From personal unscientific testing (Apple M1 Max, macOS 15), when using the
new xdiff, for simple/normal diff's this could result in **11%/29%** overall
diff speed improvement. For larger more pathologically complicated diff this
results in a more modest **4%/7%** improvement.
- The two improvement numbers above are for compiling Vim with `-O3 -flto` vs
`-O2`. The more optimized version of Vim results in lower performance
improvement as it was already doing inlining via link-time-optimization
before.
- Just for reference, the command I used to test this was the following (use
either test case and comment out the other one):
```bash
# Simple/normal diff test case
(COMMIT=0d9160e11ce; git show ${COMMIT}:src/diff.c > test1.txt; git show ${COMMIT}~:src/diff.c > test2.txt)
# Larger diff test case
(COMMIT=9670f61d468; git show ${COMMIT}:src/auto/configure > test1.txt; git show ${COMMIT}~:src/auto/configure > test2.txt)
# Build Vim with old/new xdiff, then copy ./src/vim to ./src/vim_orig / ./src/vim_new respectively.
