Add `matchbraceleft` option to allow disabling the default behavior
matching not just the brace under cursor but also the brace to the left
of it (which is arguably convenient, but also ambiguous and
non-intuitive). With `matchbraceleft` disabled, micro will only match
the brace character that is precisely under the cursor, and also when
jumping to the matching brace, will always move cursor precisely to the
matching brace character, not to the character next to it.
Nota bene: historical journey:
- There was already a `matchbraceleft` option introduced in commit
ea6a87d41a, when this feature (matching brace to the left) was
introduced first time. That time it was matching _only_ the brace
to the left, _instead_ of the brace under the cursor, and was
disabled by default.
- Later this feature was removed during the big refactoring of micro.
- Then this feature was reintroduced again in commit d1e713ce08, in
its present form (i.e. combined brace matching both under the cursor
and to the left, simulating I-beam cursor behavior), and it was
introduced unconditionally, without an option to disable it.
- Since then, multiple users complained about this feature and asked
for an option to disable it, so now we are reintroducing it as an
option again (this time enabled by default though).
Add comments to `.json` files using `//` instead of the default `#`.
Even though JSON does not support comments, JSON5 and JSONC exist, so `//` is a much more sane default. It also improves the experience of editing micro's own config files.
Also tweaked the behavior of Paragraph/{Previous/Next} so that it skips
all empty lines immediately next to cursor position, until it finds the
start/end of the paragraph closest to it. Once it finds the paragraph
closest to it, the same behavior as before applies. With the previous
behavior if the cursor was surrounded by empty lines, then
Paragraph/{Previous/Next} would only jump to the next empty line,
instead of jumping to the start/end of a paragraph.
ClearInfo and ClearStatus actions do exactly the same thing. Let's keep
them both, for compatibility reasons (who knows how many users are using
either of the two), but at least document that there is no difference
between the two.
* docs: Improve documentation
`commands.md`
- documented the `reopen` command
- improved the documentation of the `reload` command
`plugins.md`
- added direct links to relevant external documentation pages
- rewrote some sections
- documented missing functions/callbacks
- added a note about installing/managing plugins
* Omit number of default plugins

Implement a radical approach to improving abilities of plugins to detect
and handle various changes of micro's state: add onAnyEvent callback
which is called, literally, after any event. A plugin can use this
callback to compare a state after the previous event and after the
current event, and thus is able to catch various events that cannot be
detected using other callbacks.
Some examples of such events:
- change of current working directory
- switching cursor focus between a bufpane and the command bar
- change of message text in the status bar

* parser: Check and prompt for empty patterns and region properties
* syntax: Remove empty identifier pattern from log definition
Support crontab filetype detection in the case crontab is opened via
sudoedit. Also apparently this fixes crontab filetype detection when
it is opened normally via `crontab -e` but in MacOS.
Fixes#3172
This typo causes a funny bug: the autodetected filetype for *.jsonnet
files is an empty string instead of "jsonnet".
Even funnier, when autocompleting "set filetype " (with the fix from
PR #3218), the first suggested filetype is this empty string.
The section says that users may use their own .hdr files for their own
custom syntax files, which is simply not true.
As a matter of fact, .hdr files are an implementation detail that
doesn't need to be mentioned in the user documentation.
Turning `header` patterns into `signature` patterns in all syntax files
was a mistake. The two are different things. In almost all syntax files
those patterns are things like shebangs or <?xml ... ?> or
<!DOCTYPE html5> i.e. things that:
1. can be (and should be) used for detecting the filetype when there is
no `filename` match (and that is actually the purpose of those
patterns, so it's a regression that it doesn't work anymore).
2. should only occur in the first line of the file, not in the first
100 lines or so.
In other words, the old `header` semantics was exactly what was needed
for those filetypes, while the new `signature` semantics makes little
sense for them.
So replace `signature` back with `header` in most syntax files. Keep
`signature` only in C++ and Objective-C syntax files, for which it was
actually introduced.
Replacing header patterns with signature patterns was a mistake, since
both have their own uses. So restore support for header regex, while
keeping support for signature regex as well.
