Kakoune doesn't have an equivalent of Vim's ":syntax off". This
colorscheme is as close as it gets: it uses various shades of grey
for cursors, selections and completion/info boxes, and black/white for
everything else. The high-contrast makes it ideal for bright settings.
I also have the dual white-on-black colorscheme but it's not tested
much, so I left it on my "colorschemes" branch.
Commit 5b1f9255 (rc: Use the standard `fail` command to report errors,
2019-11-14) replaced uses of "echo -markup {Error}" with "fail".
This made format-buffer do
echo "eval -client $kak_client %{ fail }" | kak -p $kak_session
Unfortunately "fail" fails in the client spawned by "kak -p" and not
in $kak_client where the user would see the message. Correct this.
While at it, clarify the error message, so users immediately know
that the number is the exit code.
Fixes#3254
Added information on how to install from the repositories. Improved the instructions for how to build from source, for those that don't want an ancient version of Kakoune. On Ubuntu 20.04 and earlier, GCC 10 is not the default so we have to explicitly tell `make` to use GCC 10.

Passing large diff buffers via the environment can quickly result in
the error "execve failed: Argument list too long". Use a pipe like
in format.kak
When running | (or <a-|>), Kakoune does not use %arg{@} to populate
"$@" (missing feature?). Work around this by moving %arg{@} to a
temporary register. Apparently $kak_quoted_reg_a will never be an
empty list, so work around that too.
When diff parsing fails, we take care to run "fail" in the calling
client, unlike :format (probably a bug in format.kak).
(This patch is best viewed while ignoring whitespace changes (diff -w))
This fixes a crash when using kak-lsp with bash-language-server. The
issue is that the second read() in parse_quoted may read past the end of
the string. If this happens and the condition on line 126 is false,
then the loop on line 119 will continue to read past the end of the
buffer since it checks for state.pos != end instead of state.pos < end,
which will likely result in a crash. The fix is to add a check for the
buffer end before the second read. The added test fails without the
change and passes with the change.

Mapping in the filetype hook matches others like grep.kak and man.kak.
Since we map in buffer scope, git diff buffers will override diff-jump
with git-diff-goto-source.
This means that the diff-jump binding applies here:
diff -u "$1" "$2" | kak -e 'set buffer filetype diff'
Reported in: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/153#issuecomment-1030643854
*.ini files traditionally use ; but for example the "foot" terminal's
foot.ini uses #. Add a hack to treat ini files as "conf" filetype
if they contain a #-comment (very slim chance of false positives).
This requires to explicitly set comment_line to the default #,
because we set the "ini" filetype earlier.
