The `micro` binary itself takes now care of validating the syntax definitions
and informs about possible issues.
Different assemblers have different syntaxes for comments: ";", "#",
"!", "|", "@", "*" and finally C-like comments "//" and "/* ... */".
Micro currently highlights only ";". This is causing various problems
with broken highlighting with other types of comments (i.e. those not
recognized by micro as comments), when the text in those comments
contains special characters, causing wrong highlighting of text after
them.
On the other hand, highlighting comments like "#", "|" etc would cause
conflicts with other syntax elements, e.g. constants in ARM assembly,
preprocessor directives, arithmetic expressions etc.
So let's highlight at least C-like comments. They are quite commonly
used and they are not so likely to cause conflicts with other syntax
elements.
- extract the open logic into `openFile()` and return a `wrappedFile`
- extract the closing logic into `Close()` and make a method of `wrappedFile`
- rename `writeFile()` into `Write()` and make a method of `wrappedFile`
This allows to use the split parts alone while keeping overwriteFile() as simple
interface to use all in a row.
Setting options directly in (h.)Buf.Settings without calling SetOption() or
SetOptionNative() is generally not the best idea, since it may not
trigger the needed side effects.
In particular, after https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/pull/3343,
directly setting `diffgutter` and `ruler` causes them not being tracked as
locally overridden per buffer, so if we run the `reload` command,
it unexpectedly replaces them with the default ones.
In `ReloadSettings()` the `filetype` can change upon globbed path given by
the `settings.json` or by identifying a different `filetype` based on the
file name given or pattern present inside the file.
To prevent further recursion caused by checking the `filetype` again, its
processing stops here and isn't considered in `DoSetOptionNative()`
once again where the callbacks are usually triggered.
