error. (#5467)
- Problem with two buffers with the same name a/b, if it didn't exist before

- Add an option with file patterns, to be used when unloading a buffer: If
there is a match, remove entries for the buffer from marks, jumplist, etc.

Do give the prompt? Quit with an error?
- After doing "su" $HOME can be the old user's home, thus ~root/file is not
correct. Don't use it in the swap file.

- When a register contains illegal bytes, writing viminfo in utf-8 and
reading it back doesn't result in utf-8. (Devin Bayer)
8 With 'viminfo' set such that the ".viminfo" file is written on a FAT
filesystem, an illegal file name may be created: ".vim".
8 For each buffer that is opened, the viminfo file is opened and read to
check for file marks. This can be slow.
8 When write_viminfo() is used while there are many orphaned viminfo
tempfiles writing the viminfo file fails. Give a clear error message so
that the user knows the files have to be deleted.
